RefWorks

RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases. You can use these references in writing your papers and automatically format the paper and the bibliography in seconds.  If this is your first time using RefWorks, you will need to sign up for an individual account by creating a personalized login name and password.
