Importing MARC Catalog Records into RefWorks
Perform your catalog search and mark the records you wish to import into RefWorks.


Select the MARC format from the bulleted list and then select screen from the send list to side of the screen.

Then, highlight and copy everything on the screen in your web browser. It is often easiest to simply press ctrl-a to select all and then ctrl-c to copy.

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. Click Import, and they should import cleanly.

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