If you have been using ProCite bibliographic software, records can be imported into an Ibidem database from your Procite database.
The first step is to use ProCite to create an export file that contains the records that you want to import into your Ibidem database.
| 1 | Open your ProCite database. |
| 2 | Select and then mark the records you want to export to Nota Bene. |
| 3 | On the ProCite main menu, click Tools, Export Marked Records. |
| 4 | Click the Delimited Format tab and make the following selections: |
| • | For "Export Format," choose "Custom" |
| • | For "Fields Separated With" choose "Tabs" |
| • | For "Records Terminated With" choose "Carriage Returns" |
| • | Leave "Optional Field Delimiters" unchecked |
| • | For "Included Fields," check all 3 options ("Workform Indicators," "Record ID's," & "All 45 Fields) |
| 5 | Click the Exported Data tab and make the following selections and then click OK |
| • | For "Fields," select "Export data for all fields" |
| • | For "Workform Data," check "Export workform definitions" |
| 6 | Choose any filename (remember the location and name of this file, since you will need to use it later). |
Once your export file is created, use the Import Records dialog to import the records. Open Ibidem, open the database to which you wish to add the records and click File, Import Records. For more detailed instructions on this dialog, see Importing Records.
