Zotero: To Another Citation Manager

You can export bibliographic entries from Zotero to EndNote, Mendeley, and RefWorks. (NOTE: The UW Libraries no longer offers support for RefWorks accounts. If you had a RefWorks account through UW before July 2021, you can contact RefWorks directly to recover your library.)
