Jonathan,

I'd like to know too. I found some code floating around... I think I did a search in Google Code for "ExpressImport.asp" or something and came up with a half-way working bit of code.. For some reason it keeps asking for a group id though. I remember having a hard time finding any useful docs :(

This is in ruby and I hope to implement a full service class for refworks in Blacklight, but I'm not even sure if this works!

def refworks_export_url(group, document)
    #http://refworks.scholarsportal.info/express/ExpressImport.asp
    #http://www.refworks.com/express/expressimport.asp
    # "http://www.refworks.com/express/ExpressImport.asp/?vendor=RefWorks%20Tagged%20Format&url=#{file_url}"
    base_url='http://www.refworks.com/express/ExpressImport.asp'
    file_url = URI.escape(refworks_catalog_url(document['id']))
    vendor='RefWorks%20Tagged%20Format'
    "#{base_url}?g=#{group}&vendor=#{vendor}&url=#{file_url}"
end

Matt Mitchell

Subject: [CODE4LIB] refworks developer documentation?

Does anyone know where, if anywhere, I find documentation on the ways to
send references to RefWorks for importing?

Not having any luck on their website. I know I've seen it before
though.  I remember there were a variety of formats and methods you
could send things to RefWorks for an import. Must be documentation
somewhere?  I bet some code4libber has done this before.
