Well, I don't know about easy, but here is what we do:

We have Current Contents for DOS (both Life Sciences and Agricultural and
Biological Sciences) and EndNote for both DOS and MAC, as well as EndLink for
DOS. The person 'responsible' for scanning the Current Contents saves CC output
in MedLine format and reads that into a DOS EndNote database using EndLink. I
(I'm the one using the MAC EndNote version) then open the DOS EndNote database
and copy the interesting records to my own private reference database.

Hope this helps a little.
