Import from disk based commercial citation databases

Some citation databases from commercial providers are delivered on a CD or DVD disk. You have to load the disk onto your library PC and run their search software. There are usually options to export your search results in several formats including EndNote Refer and Reference Manager RIS. Some databases only allow you to export in their own format. Biblioscape provides many import filters for such cases. You can go to "File | Import Filters..." in Biblioscape and browse the import filters list. Import filters are named with the provider's name at the beginning followed by the database name. For example: "SilverPlatter WinSPIRS -- EMBASE". A sample record is given for each import filter. You can compare how well it matches the file you want to import.
