When you find a book in Google Books you can import the bibliographical information to RefWorks (RefGrab-it could also be used, but our experience is that it’s not always working).
Click the link ‘About this book’ and scroll down to the end of the page, there you’ll find the section ‘Bibliographic information’. There are three buttons behind ‘Export Citation’:
We think that the RefMan option gives the most complete information – but be aware that the place of publication is not available, you have to add it yourself. Click the RefMan button and save the RIS-file.
In RefWorks:
- Click in the grey bar at the top of the page References
- Choose Import
- Select behind Import Filter/Data Source: RIS format
- Select behind Database: Reference Manager
- Use Browse to upload the saved RIS-file
- If applicable: choose behind Import Into Folder the folder you want to put the reference in
- Click the button Import
- The reference will be available in the Last Imported Folder
- To add the place of publication, click Edit (the icon looks like a sheet with a pencil)
- Scroll down a bit until you find the field Place of Publication and enter the place
- Click the button Save Reference to save the change
