Exporting references from databases

Library Search and some of the library databases enable you to export your search results to your RefWorks database. It is important to remember:

  • Always open your RefWorks account before exporting
  • Exporting is seldom 100% accurate - due to the metadata descriptions issued by different authors, publishers, databases
  • As with any reference management platform - It is essential to check the quality of the references and edit them if necessary.
