Oxford Reading Lists Online (ORLO): Exporting

Access the Export options, and use the dropdown to select Word. Note - this is above 'PDF':

Using the 'Bibliography style' dropdown, select from the range of styles available. Top tip! Scroll to the bottom of the menu to find Expanded Reading List Style, which will most closely resemble the list you see (includes tagging, reading importances, public notes.) - this is good to use to share with academics who do not have SSOs yet:

Then select what fields you need to include in your export:

List order will output the list as you see it; clicking Title will rearrange the list into Alphabetical Order by Title. 
Click Export to finish.
 

LGN is a proprietary file type for the software underlying ORLO. By exporting a list as an .lgn file, you can make a copy of your list which can subsequently be re-imported in its entirety, with all citations and sections intact. Use this to:

• Store a local backup of a list
• Create an exact clone of a list
• Export a list finished in the ORLO Sandbox to import into ORLO Production.

Follow the steps above to export your list, but scroll down to select .lgn as the file type.

To Import the file:

• In 'My Lists', click the arrow next to 'Create List', then select option 'Import list'
  
• On the next screen, ensure the file type is .lgn, and either drag the file onto the Import wizard, or browse your computer for the file
  
• The wizard will automatically fill in the current name of the list; rename the list, link it to a course (or fill in the Course Record Request form subsequently), then click 'Create list.'

Follow the instructions in the Export to Word box (left), selecting the different format options as needed. The fields to select will change depending on what export option you pick. Bibliography Style is not an option for these exports. List order will export the list as it appears on ORLO; Title will generate a list alphabetically by title. (Unfortunately, sorting by author is not an option).

Export to RIS to import the entire list or section to your reference management software.

It is not possible to export individual items directly to reference management software from the list itself. However, items can be selected to export to RIS if they are saved in your Favourites.

1. Click the three-dots on all the items you want to save, and select 'Save as Favourites':
   
2. Once you have saved your items, navigate to your Favourites via the link on the left of your ORLO screen:
   
3. Click the tickboxes of all the items you wish to export. This will activate the actions bar; once you've selected your items, click 'Export':
   
4. Select RIS as the Export type, then click "Export":
   
5. Follow the instructions for your reference manager to import the items from your computer.
