RefGrab-It: Capture Webpage Info for RefWorks

October 23, 2006 on 1:01 pm | In Database News, Tech Tools |

RefWorks has announced their October 2006 batch of new features:

• RefGrab-It - for PC and Mac
  RefGrab-It works with your browser to capture bibliographic information from web pages. Under Tools in RefWorks, you’ll see a RefGrab-It option that will take you to a page with the IE and Firefox bookmarklets (just drag the appropriate link to your browser’s bookmark toolbar). Once you’ve imported the reference, you can add other fields like Date Accessed and Descriptors.

  Note: This bookmarklet opens up new browser windows for 1) the RefGrab-It page that reviews what’s been captured for the webpage and offers the option to import into RefWorks, and 2) the Import Completed page. If you click Import on that review page a second time, your reference will be imported into your RefWorks account again. Duplicate references can be located and deleted easily.
