RefWorks

A new service provided by the University Libraries and OIT, Refworks is a web-based tool that allows you to store, organize and format citations from your articles, books and other references. Citations can be saved directly from many different databases including PsycINFO, Web of Science, the library catalog, and more. RefWorks can be used with Microsoft Word to automatically format your bibliographies and in-text citations in APA, MLA and many other styles.

RefWorks is similar to Endnote, but web-based, so you can get to it anytime you have access to the Internet. It also offers a very user-friendly interface.

To register and find additional help, go to http://www.library.nd.edu/refworks/

If you are teaching a class that will require library research, consider asking for an in-class brief demo of Refworks to help your students get started with this citation service. Contact training@nd.edu or 1-7227 to make class arrangements.
