You can export your references from RefWorks into Zotero (select a folder or reference in RefWorks, choose 'Share' > 'Export references' and choose 'RIS format'; the downloaded file can then be imported into Zotero using 'File > Import'). 

Please note: folders, custom notes, PDF attachments and tags will not export from RefWorks along with your references. 

It's recommended to migrate each RefWorks folder separately.

When navigating to the file created by Refworks during the export process (usually export.ris), use the following import options in Zotero:

• Place imported collections and items into new collection (leave this checked)
• Copy files to the Zotero storage folder

If you've selected the new collection option, Zotero will put all the imported references into a new folder named for the filename of the RIS file you exported from RefWorks (e.g. if your file was named export.ris, look for a new folder in your library called 'Export'; you can then re-name that folder).
