ORLO is configured to use the following Reference Management Software:
You will need to configure your preferred software to work with your login; see the individual boxes below for instructions.
You can add citations to a list or favourites directly from your reference manager, or import references in bulk via RIS file. You cannot add items from a list/favourites into your reference manager directly; please use the 'export as RIS or BibTex' function on a section or an entire list to generate a file you can then import into your software.
To link your Reference Management software to ORLO:
For RefWorks and Endnote, click "Connect" to open your account login in a new tab:
In your list, Click on Add, Import references, and select the relevant Reference manager:
Grab and drag the references from the right-hand pane into the relevant section of the reading list:
Zotero requires some extra steps to connect to ORLO. It is advisable to have a notepad application open while you connect Zotero.
Follow steps 1-3 in the box "Connecting your Reference Manager", selecting Zotero in step 3.
You will need two parameters to connect Zotero to ORLO:
To find these, access the Zotero website and log in. Then, click on your username and Settings:
Navigate to the Security tab and scroll down to Applications. Your User ID for API calls is at the top of the section:
Copy this and save it in a notepad.
Then click on Create new private key:
Give your key a name such as ORLO; Tick Allow library access under Personal Library, and click "None" under Default Group Permissions. Click Save Key.
Your API will be displayed on the next screen; make sure you copy this into your notepad now as it will be unavailable after this point.
Go back to ORLO; paste the User ID in the User ID box, and the API key you created into the second box. Click Connect.
The screen will show your connection. You can disconnect at any time.
You can export entire lists, list sections, or individual items to your Reference management software by using the Export -> RIS function. Endnote users can export to a proprietary Endnote format by following the same actions but selecting Endnote rather than RIS.
To export a list or section
Click on the three-dots menu, and select Export list or Export section:
Using the dropdown menu, select RIS or Endnote, then click Export.
Follow the instructions for your Reference management software to import the RIS file.
