RefWorks now available


RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management program which allows you to:
  • Create a personal database of citations from journal articles, books, book chapters or other sources
  • Automatically generate a bibliography (works cited page) in APA, MLA, or other bibliographic styles in MS Word after downloading the RefWorks Write-N-Cite plugin
  • Export search results from the UConn Libraries' research databases directly to RefWorks
  • Link to the full text of online articles from your RefWorks database using the 'UConn Links' button
  • Share your RefWorks database with others using RefShare
Create or log in to your RefWorks account.

RefWorks is now up and running for all campuses, including the Law School and the Health Center.

Training by our rep is tentatively scheduled for November 8, so save the date.

In the meantime, create an account, work through the tutorials, try out your favorite databases.

Feel free to introduce it to your constituents. We will work with our university partners at the Writing Center, the LRC, the IRC, and beyond to bring this product into university life.

Steve Batt has created an informational website for all to use: http://refworks.uconn.edu/
