Copy a BibTeX entry (or multiple entries) such as
@book{whole-set,
Author = {Knuth, Donald E.},
Note = {Seven volumes planned (this is a cross-referenced set of
BOOKs)},
Publisher = {Addison-Wesley},
Series = {Four volumes},
Title = {The Art of Computer Programming},
Year = {{\noopsort{1973a}}{\switchargs{--90}{1968}}}}
and paste the text as BibTeX into BibDesk's main pub list; same thing
works for RIS. You can also drag the selected BibTeX or RIS text in
to BibDesk, or use the Services menu to add to the frontmost
bibliography. All of this should be covered clearly in the online
help under 5.1 "Adding References".

If you have suggestions for improving the efficiency of the process
