I am having trouble importing from EBSCO.

Export (created by the Libraries at UNLV, last updated 2006).
I am having trouble importing from ERIC.
You may find the following page helpful: Troubleshooting Refworks (by Bob Houdek, Ohio University, last updated 2009).
None of these solve my importing problems.
Usually saving your citations as text files and importing them from within RefWorks will solve most direct import errors. See RefWorks Help - "Getting References Into Your Account" for more information.
My database isn't listed in the RefWorks list.
For a complete list of
databases with import filters, visit RefWorks’ list of
Database Services Supported. If you do not find a filter for a particular database, you may request
that RefWorks create one. While logged into your
RefWorks account, click on "Help" - "Request" - "Import Filter" and
fill out the form. Keep in mind that it may not always be possible to
create a
filter for a particular database. This decision is usually that of the
database vendor and not RefWorks.
