Click on Import.
From Import Filter/Data Source, select MARC format.

Click on Import.
Check your records before doing anything else.

You will get a single e-mail for each record in your marked list.

In RefWorks: Select "References... Import" from the toolbar, and from there select "GALE InfoTrac Web" as the data source and "GALE InfoTrac" as the database.
