Oxford Brookes is using EndNote Web and EndNote X5

We use Endnote Version X5 for Windows but are in process of upgrading to version X6. It is only available on networked pc's and students have to purchase it if they want to use it off campus.

Yes, we authenticate users to RefWorks via OpenAthens (same as for Aspire).

For Endnote our students can only access this on university pc's and for Refworks they have their own unique accounts so it does not sit behind authenticated access. Laura - University of Leicester

Would be very much more user friendly for students than RIS import, which means nothing to the average undergraduate. I agree with Peter that it would assist with academic engagement too.

Would be very useful for us as RefWorks users and Aspire implementors. Also, on a related point, he option to use RefWorks databases to build reading lists is a selling point for academic engagement.

Yes. I'm very keen to see Talis improve the facility exporting items from reading lists out to reference management software. At the moment, it's only possible to export an entire reading list in one go, and only as a .RIS download.

I'd like you to offer customisable options to export to different ref man formats, including RefWorks Direct Export. I'd also like you to make it possible to export individual items one-by-one.

I think that 'smart' export to ref man software should be seen as basic behaviour for *any* software aimed at academic libraries, not as an optional add-on, and this change would significantly improve the experience of Talis Aspire for our users.

Disclaimer - I've emailed the LIS-REFWORKS-UK mailing list to try and drum up support for this idea amongst fellow RefWorks/Talis Aspire users.

It would be great if the Export Citation function worked like e.g. EbscoHost so you get a choice of saving a RIS file or direct import into RefWorks, Endnote web etc. The list of option offered by the EbscoHost export is as follows.

Direct Export in RIS Format (e.g. CITAVI, EasyBib, EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, Zotero)
Generic bibliographic management software
Citations in XML format
Citations in BibTeX format
Citations in MARC21 format
Direct Export to RefWorks
Direct Export to EndNote Web

Ok, got you.

AFAIK - For software locally installed, this is just a case of associating the ris file extension to the app, which is a local config issue. For web-based citation tools, I'm fairly sure RefWorks has an API framework for this sort of thing. Would be something could look into.

it is importable as far as I know - but I was referring to making it talk directly to a preferred software.

There should be a way to link the button to a piece of software so it goes directly to refworks for example and lets you log in before putting the references straight into your personal space.

What ref management software are you refering to - RIS should be importable (if thats a word) into all the mail tools
