RefWorks Roundup

Exporting from QSearch used to be by text file but direct export is now available. Just

• Do your search and save the references you want by clicking on the basket icon.
• Click on My QSearch on the top toolbar and select the references you want to export to RefWorks.
• Click on Selected then click on Save.
• In Record format, choose RefWorks and click on Save.
• Log in to your RefWorks account.
• Your records should appear in the Last Imported Folder.

Search Tip: the CrossSearch function in QSearch is only meant for basic searches. For best results, search each database individually using its native interface.

For in-depth searches it’s usually better to search databases individually but if you are using QSearch for cross-searching a number of databases, you can export references from QSearch into RefWorks. If you need to export references from QCat then search QCat from within QSearch.

To export references from QSearch into RefWorks:

• Conduct your search and save the references you want by clicking on the basket icon.
• Click on My QSearch on the top toolbar and select the references for export to RefWorks.
• Click on Selected then click on Save.
• In Record format, choose Citation Manager and click on Save.
• Save the file.
• Log-in to RefWorks.
• Select References on the top toolbar followed by Import.
• Select Queen’s University Belfast as the import filter and QSearch as the database.
• Browse to find the file you saved and click on Import.
• Your records should appear in the Last Imported Folder.
