Currently there is no direct export option for citations from the BDSL into RefWorks. Nevertheless, it's quite easy to quickly add these to your RefWorks database.

Step-by-step directions:

1. Open up BDSL using Internet Explorer or current version of Firefox. Note: older versions of Firefox were not working for importing from BDSL.
   
2. Conduct your search.
3. Mark the records you want and save the desired citations ("Speichern")
4. Under your Auswahlliste, select Dublin Core. A new window will open up
5. Select all and copy.
6. In RefWorks, in the menu select IMPORT under REFERENCES.
7. For INPUT FILTER/DATA SOURCE, select "Bibliographie der deutschen Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft"
8. For DATABASE, select DUBLIN CORE.
9. ENCODING: ANSI Latin I
10. In the box labeled IMPORT DATA FOR THE FOLLOWING TEXT, paste the citations.
11. Click on Import.
12. Double-check your citations in RefWorks for accuracy.

As of Sept. 23, 2009, there is a problem with issue numbers of journals appearing correctly in citations. RefWorks is aware of the problem and is working on it.
