Possible to import items from a document's reference list

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to import items from a journal article's reference list.

Zotero can't do this natively, but see:
http://www.zotero.org/support/kb/importing_formatted_bibliographies
http://freecite.library.brown.edu/welcome
http://aye.comp.nus.edu.sg/parsCit/

All these services provide output that Zotero can import-- and Freecite is even detected by Zotero, so you can click the icon in the address bar (unfortunately, Freecite is not the most reliable of the bunch).

we should add freecite and parsCit to the list on th kb site - how well does parsCit work?

Thank you!

Actually, I can't get parsCit to work at all right now. But Freecite is worth adding-- if only because I wrote a translator for it!

freecite would be great if they'd get a grip on that super annoying date-bug that doesn't capture any years past 1999... but it's still useful.
