Thanks to everyone who responded. A lot of good information on workflow,
and a very important reminder: authors are only responsible for citing
PMCIDs on their own papers or papers resulting from their NIH funding
(even when they are not an author). That certainly lightens the load a
bit!
I had written this down (and underlined it!) in my notes from the Open
Forum at MLA, but somehow had gotten turned around in my thinking again.
Thanks to our colleagues at UW-Madison. I'll definitely be working my
way through your procedure to see how we can adapt it for use here. Much
appreciated.

Hats off to UWisconsin-Madison libraries for getting a jump on this
problem. On the RefWorks listserv recently, Emily Wixson announced that
they have posted instructions for managing PMCIDs and NIHMSIDs in
RefWorks. See
