Hi,
I am having serious trouble importing references from my principal sources SSCI and PsycINFO. After a lot of trying I managed to choose the correct format from SSCI (Web of Science), i.e. a .txt file that Bookends will import. I am still having trouble to select the correct format for a citation from EBSCO-host PsycINFO. These are the possibilities:
Direct Export to EndNote, ProCite, CITAVI, or Reference Manager
Direct Export to EndNote Web
Generic bibliographic management software
Citations in XML format
Citations in BibTeX format
Citations in MARC21 format
Direct Export to RefWorks
In Bookends I have all EBSCO filters active but none of the above formats seems to work with Bookends. Unfortunately I cannot connect directly from within Bookends because my connection must go via our university library's login. Can anybody point me to the format offered by EBSCO-host PsycINFO that Bookends imports? Note that I access these data banks using Safari or Firefox.
Thanks.
Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
Re: Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
Bookends will probably import most of those. Direct export (the first option) is probably in RIS format. Generic export probably is, too. Try importing one of those options with the Bookends RIS filter. If that doesn't work, post an example of *one* references exported by EBSCO.

Re: Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
Jon:
As I said, the first option gives me a file called "delivery" with no .txt ending. Without the ending .txt BE shows the file as not importable (grayed out), with the ending .txt added manually, BE lets me import only with the import setting EBSCO psycInfo. All other export options from EBSCO give me some text in Safari's browser window that I cannot save as txt. Does this mean that I have to manually add .txt to all my PsycInfo imports? Obviously BE does not recognize txt files without the ending.
This is the content of a sample file called "delivery":

N2 - Following open-ended methodology used in an earlier research by Liu et al., social representations of world history were assessed among university student samples in 12 countries: China, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, East Timor, Turkey, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Spain, and Portugal. Findings confirmed that across cultures, transcending boundaries of political ideology, civilization age, or youthful statehood. (a) World history is represented as a story about politics and warfare, with World War II the most important event in history and Hitler its most influential individual. (b) Recency effects are pervasive in young adults’ collective remembering, with events and figures from the past 100 years accounting for 72% and 78% of nominations on average. (c) Representations were primarily Eurocentric, with events and figures in Western societies accounting for 40% of nominations overall, but this is tempered by nationalism, especially in the prevalence of local heroes instrumental to the founding of the current state. The representational hegemony of the victorious Western powers of World War II is being challenged by negative evaluations of the American presidency following 9/11 (September 9) and the Iraq War, with George Bush Jr. perceived as more negative than Hitler in four out of six samples where they were both nominated as important. Results are interpreted within a theoretical framework of history and identity, where collective remembering of the past is dynamically interlinked to political issues of the present.

Re: Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
That's an RIS reference.
Three different approaches all work:
1. Add .txt to the file name.
2. Drag and drop the file on Bookends window with the SHIFT key held down. Bookends will treat it as a text file and offer to import.
3. Copy the RIS formatted info from the screen (in your browser) and import into Bookends from the clipboard.

Re: Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
Thanks Jon, that works fine. I didn't find this in the tutorial. Also I can't download the manual, getting a "Not Found" message.
Be it as it may, it's an awsome app. Thanks.

Re: Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
The manual now comes with the Bookends download as of 10.6.1, so it's not available as a separate download any more. If you select User Guide from the Help menu it should open (it should be in ~/Documents/Bookends/

Re: Importing from EBSCO-PsycInfo
You can also give the .ris ending to these files and then use the file info dialog to assign .ris to Bookends (or does Bookends claim .ris ownership by default now? in that case you can skip that part, of course), which will make it possible to open them in Bookends with a double click in the finder.
