[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Feature inquiry

I think that's RIS.

But RefWorks is a web-hosted application. You've got to push the RIS  
to it in some standard way I once looked up but never implemented and  
have now forgotten.

Both RefWorks and EndNote understand a variety of formats, but RIS is  
one they have in common, which is fairly simple, and standard. http://
