When users select records and place them in the EBSCO folder, then
chooses the export option, the data is sent correctly and completely.
EBSCO is aware of this problem. We recommend that all users export
records via the folder option until the situation has been rectified .

Thank you,

To create and export a citation list to RefWorks, follow these steps:

1. Select images: select one or multiple images by clicking on them once while in the thumbnail page,
2. Create a citation list: go to the Image Groups menu located in the toolbar and choose “save selected images as citations,”
3. Open citation list: click on “View saved citations” from Image Groups Menu,
4. At the top of the “ARTstore Saved Citations” page, Click on the link to “Directly export citations into RefWorks,
5. If you are not already logged into Refworks, you will be forwarded to the login screen and begin importing the citations.

More detailed information is available from ARTstore.

From RefWork's "Search" menu, select "Online Catalog or Database". Choose "Syracuse Summit Voyager" from the list of search options. (Other search options are to search the PubMed database and other library catalogs such as Library of Congress.)

The Quick Search automatically ANDs terms together — i.e., all terms must be present in the catalog entry — and the Advanced Search lets you choose which fields you are searching and control the search logic for greater precision.

However, both searches return the results sorted in backwards relevancy order — i.e., the first item in the list is, unfortunately, the least relevant. This has to do with how SUMMIT returns the search results, rather than how RefWorks picks them up.

The strategy to apply here is to construct searches that return less than 50 search results — the maximum that RefWorks can import in this type of searching.**If you find that you import a lot of references into RefWorks from SUMMIT, the Library's catalog, then consider using RefWork's "Search Online Catalog or Database" option.

The strategy to apply here is to construct searches that return less than 50 search results — the maximum that RefWorks can import in this type of searching. That way you will have access to the most relevant search results; they just will be at the bottom of the list.

This problem does not apply to PubMed searches. If you search other library catalogs using the RefWorks search option, be sure to evaluate how the results are being sorted.
