Smart Search Tips to Save You Time: How to Send References from Google Scholar to RefWorks or EndNote

Why do you still need a librarian when “everything” is online? It’s because librarians are experts in showing you how to retrieve the reliable and scholarly information you need from the endless possibilities the Internet offers. Watch this space for regular time-saving data searching suggestions and secrets that only librarians know! Please Ask Us if there’s a particular searching dilemma you’d like us to cover.  

Last time we learned how to customize Google Scholar so that the search engine will allow us to access the full text of the library’s journal articles even from off campus. But did you know that you can export the citations you retrieve to several reference management software systems (such as RefWorks, EndNote, or even Bibtex) to make doing your bibliographies a snap?

Here’s how it’s done:

At the Google Scholar homepage, click Settings:settings

At the Google Scholar settings screen, scroll down to Bibliography manager.  Click Show links to import citations into … and then choose your citation management software from the dropdown menu. As an example, we’ll  choose RefWorks: choose_manager

bibliography manager

Click the SAVE button at the top of the screen.  This returns us to the Google Scholar search box.

Let’s try this search: search

Under each of our results we now see the Import into RefWorks link.  Just click to capture the citation information into your RefWorks account.  If you’re not already logged into RefWorks, you will receive a prompt to do so.

What’s that? You don’t have a RefWorks account?  You mean you’re still typing bibliographies the old fashioned way?  Watch this brief video to see what RefWorks can do for you. Then click here to find out how to sign up for your own account.
