Importing XML files from dfr.jstor.org

Can Bookends import the XML files that are produced by creating a database using dfr.jstor.org? Maybe I could not find any import filter that would work, but maybe that is just my failing. Using latest version of Bookends.

I tried the three JSTOR import filters, but none worked. Also, I could not see any way to important more than one file at a time, and as JSTOR puts each of 16,000 references in a separate XML file, that is a problem.

Bookends wouldn't understand any XML file except those that follow the schema of EndNote or Sente. You'd need to output in one of the standard tagged formats (e.g. RIS, BibTeX, etc.).

Bookends can import multiple files at once, but why not use the built-in JSTOR search? It's designed for that.
