    •    If prompted select your EndNote library

Export multiple references:
    •    Search UC Library Search for items on your topic
    •    Click the empty box icon next to records you want to select and export
    •    At the top of the results screen, where it says "You have selected n records," click on the ellipsis (...)
    •    Select "Export RIS"
