Importing information to RefWorks from ALADIN Discovery

1. Conduct your search and click on the title of the item you want to import.
2. In the right column, under "Library Services," click "Export to Refworks/Endnote." Please note: On some computers this may say "Export to .ris (eg. zotero)"). 
3. If you are using Internet Explorer (IE) as your browser:
   1. The default file name is export.ris
   2. Clicking Save will open a window so you can save the file with the default name or any name you choose, as well as select a location for the file.
   3. Using Open is not recommended.
4. If you are using Mozilla Thunderbird as your browser:
   1. The default file name is export.ris 
   2. Easiest: Clicking "Save file" will put a copy of the file export.ris on the computer's desktop.
