I really wish I could afford RefWorks. I called them yesterday, basic subscription is $100 plus add-on modules. I still like NoodleTools, and wish BibMe had a few more features. I gave up on Zotero, but maybe it’s time to give it another try. I just like that RefWorks has partners that allow direct exporting.
I am spending way too much time inputting my bibliographies for these long papers, there has to be a better way. BibMe’s search is nice except it hasn’t found a single journal article of mine yet. That doesn’t shock me, since I am using my university’s proxy login to get access to these journals.
Ahh well, back to the grind.
Ask your library – most institutions have a campus license for RefWorks. In that way it is free for you to use! My university has a license for RefWorks and I love the direct export functions.
I asked both the local library and the university library and no luck there. Thanks for the suggestion!

Chris — I will start with full disclosure — I am CEO of a little company trying to make tools for bibliography management — we have some direct export capabilities (that depend mostly on the database you use) — the site is at Carmun — I hope it helps — and even if it doesn’t we are very committed to making it better and would to hear your thoughts.
Thanks,
Jonathan
Zotero supports direct export/import from hundreds of sites. Which sites supported by RefWorks are you using that Zotero does not yet recognize?
