Import BE into Refworks

I have recently been given access to Refworks through my institution and would like to import my Bookends database into Refworks. I have not been able to do so. Can anyone advise how I can export it so that i can import it into Refworks?
Thanks

To go from Bookends *to* Refworks no doubt involves exporting the references from Bookends in a particular plain text tagged format (like Refer or RIS). Bookends has a format for Endnote Refer, and may for RIS (I can't check at the moment). If not, it's easy to make one. Then use Bibliography Formatter -> Make Bib (and send to disk as plain text) to generate the file.

Maybe someone else who uses Refworks can tell you exact details...

Thanks. Refer format worked just fine.
