More export flexibility

I use CiteUlIke to post articles when I'm online. But I do most of my work in Bookends on a Mac because I'm often offline. That means I need to do a lot of exporting from CiteULike, but the all-or-nothing export function makes it pretty difficult to keep things organized in Bookends. Are there any plans to allow selective export? Failing that, any tips for managing this kind of workflow?

You can export pretty-much any article list you are looking at. So, if you're looking at:

You can click either the orange "RIS" or "BibTeX" buttons at the bottom of the list to get that selection of articles exported.

It would be nice to have this feature at the bottom of your own publications (http://www.citeulike.org/profile/robertlischke/publications) as well. It could come handy when preparing a CV.

this can be done with a my_papers tag and then filtering by this tag, but once you posted all of them it is very annoying to add this tag one by one.

Sorry. I'd completely missed that capability. I find it quite astonishing how CuL is progressing.

i understand rickl. yes, you can export any list you are looking at, but the thing is what if i would like to tag to a bunch of posts (which further will help me to export or print because this will filter the list). it would be nice to have a select/unselect option to edit the tags of several posts at the same time and not one by one. I think that tags are the tool to work with for a lot of suggestion i have read in the forum.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
