Importing records from a bibliographic-manager-format, EBSCOhost alert into RefWorks.

EBSCOhost search alert results can be requested in "bibliographic manager" format. Unfortunately, as received, the alert records can only be imported into RefWorks one record at a time. If you try to import the entire list of records, as received, all the info will be combined in a single RefWorks record.

To get a list of records in an EBSCOhost alert to import into RefWorks correctly,
1. Copy the whole list of records
2. Paste the records into Word (or WordPad)
3. Type -- Record: -- in front of each record number.
4. Import the edited records into RefWorks.
