Importing MARC Records into RefWorks from the Beta Catalog
Perform your catalog search and select the individual record you wish to import into RefWorks.


Highlight the MARC record fields using your mouse, and then Copy (ctrl-c). You can also select all and copy everything on the page (ctrl-a, ctrl-c).

Now, sign into RefWorks in another window. From within RefWorks, select References, and then Import.

For Import Filter/Data Source, select MARC Format from the drop-down list. If you want to put the references into a specific RefWorks folder, select it as well.
Change the radio button to Import Data from the following Text.
Then paste (ctrl-v) your catalog records into the provided text box.
If you have more records from the catalog to import, you can switch to your Catalog window or tab and copy/paste their MARC records in this same box. You can paste more than one record into RefWorks to save time.
Click Import, and they should import cleanly.

Select View Last Imported Folder if you wish to review your records.
