EndNote 8 or higher users only:

  1. Go into RefWorks and from the References menu select Import.

  2. Expand the From EndNote Database section.

  3. Browse for and select your EndNote library (.enl).  Note:  Only EndNote version 8 and higher databases can be imported. Currently there is a 25 MB import limit on the size your EndNote library.  Also ensure that the .enl file is not open on your computer.

  4. Specify a folder to import your records into (optional)

  5. Click Import at the bottom of the Import window. The progress in importing is measured by * for each reference imported. RefWorks will notify you when the import is complete.

  6. Your records should automatically appear in the Last Imported folder.

To export records from EndNote 7 or lower:

Note: When importing large amounts of references, it is recommended to import no more than 2500 records (or 3MB of files) at a single time.  This will ensure a successful import.

  2. From the list of output styles select RefMan ( RIS) Export.
