Using RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based tool for gathering, managing, storing and sharing citations and lists of references. Each registered RefWorks user can create a personal database by entering references directly into RefWorks, or by importing references directly from an online database or library catalog. References from a RefWorks database can be automatically integrated into research papers, with proper bibligraphic style applied, and bibliographies can be generated in seconds.
