Problems Reported With Ebsco Databases and RefWorks/EndNote Web
There are problems being reported with exporting records from EBSCO databases to EndNote Web or RefWorks. This is a problem with Ebsco’s software and the fix is estimated to be completed on Friday.
You can try a manual text file import, or wait until the fix has been applied and the functionality has been restored.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely
