DATABASE OF THE MONTH: RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic software package that enables you to:

• Organize your research
• Create in-text citations as you write and build bibliographies in a variety of styles
• Import references from many data sources
• Create bibliographies in different document formats (Word, RTF, HTML, etc.)
• Share references with other researchers

To start using RefWorks you need to create an account. (Off-campus users will be asked to provide their library ID number to create their account.)

We strongly recommend spending a few minutes in using the online help listed below:

• Quick Start Guide (pdf)
