Q. How can I transfer RefWorks references from my Shibboleth account to my login/password account?

You need to export the references in your Shibboleth RefWorks account as a tagged file and then import them into your Login/Password RefWorks account. It is not advisable to use the backup and restore option as this will overwrite any existing data in the Login/Password account!

If you have forgotten your RefWorks Login Name or Password, use the "Login to RefWorks" link, below, then the link marked "Forgot Your Login Information?" to request a reset link (vaild for 24 hours).

To export references from your Shibboleth account:

1. Open your Shibboleth account
2. Link to <References> on the tool bar and select <Export>
3. Select <RefWorks Tagged Format> as the Export format
4. Link to the <Export> button
5. Link to <File/Save As>, and save the data as a .txt file on your desktop

To import references into your login/password account:

1. Log out, and login to your login/password account
2. Link to <References> on the tool bar and select <Import>
3. Select <RefWorks Tagged Format> as the “Import Filter/Data Source”
4. Leave “Tagged Format” the database entry
5. Use the Browse button to navigate to your saved file on the desktop
6. Leave the encoding as UTF-8
7. Link to the <Import> button
8. Your references should be imported to your Last Imported Folder
