Subject: Re: EBSCOHOST Comments: To: Joann Janosko In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Dear Joann, I have done this with Procite 4 and 5, searching and loading records from the "academic elite" database. Make sure you save the records from EBSCO (which actually creates an html page with your selected results) in the "Bibliographic manager format" and then save them from you web browser in text (.txt) format, NOT html. I simply modified the Dialog.cfg file that comes with in the Config folder to handle the basic default database. (Open the config file and then save it under a name like EbscoHost.cfg before you make any changes.) Very little needs to be changed for what I did (all the tags are exactly the same, for example.) Other changes may be needed for other Ebsco databases. In the Bibliolinks2 Database Identifier menu I selected to use "default" and didn't identify any databases and deleted the "Prefixes" and "Suffixes" that you find in the Dialog config. The most important change is to add a *(for any character) before the $- in the Tag Format box of the Field Indentifier menu. This is because Ebsco's saved text files have a sting of spaces before the tag (2 capital letters followed by the hyphen) whereas old Dialog text files started at the beginning of the line. Hope this helps. Mark Day, List Owner
