[Linden, Julie]

My thanks to Moira Fitzgerald and Kari Swanson for quick responses that confirmed that no, there isn't a way to do this.

Hi all,
Yulpub may be too broad a list for this question, but knowing that many are at the librarians' liaison workshop today, I thought it better to cast too broad a net than too narrow. The student below is asking if there's a way to bring the list of checked-out books from Orbis (as seen in My Library Account) into RefWorks or EndNote. I don't see a way to do that - am I overlooking something?

Thanks,
Julie

Subject: Regarding Refworks/Endnote importing and bibliography generation

Hello Ms Linden,
                My name is Navin Kumar and I am a Master's in International
Relations student at the Jackson Institute. I understand that you are the
librarian-in-charge for the International Relations/Political Science
department. I am working on several papers at the moment and I was wondering if
you could guide me on some technical issues pertaining to Refworks/Endnote if
possible.

I understand that the Orbis system has a record of the books we have borrowed
out of the library(SML,Bass,etc) online and I saw that that Orbis allows this
to be imported to either Refworks or Endnote to be converted into a
bibliography. I would like to create my bibliography via this method as I have
quite an extensive list of books and doing this electronically would be very
much more accurate and efficient than a manual approach. However, I seem to be
unable to correctly import this list and my attempt to do so with either
Refworks or Endnote seem to be not yielding the right result. If you could
either link me to a specific tutorial link or direct me to someone who could
assist me on this matter it would be very much appreciated. Alternatively, I
could come see you in person early this week if you will be in the SS Library?

I look forward to your reply on this slightly urgent question.

Much thanks,

Navin Kumar
