RefWorks Basics class on Friday

This Friday, October 2nd at 1pm in the Park Library, I will be teaching an introductory class on RefWorks. We'll set up accounts and cover basic usage in less than an hour, then move on to the advanced topics you find most interesting.

What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is an excellent tool for research, helping you organize and keep track of resources you find. Also, RefWorks makes bibliographies easy to produce by automatically formatting references in the style of your choice.

What We'll Cover on Friday

• Starting a RefWorks account
• Importing references from databases like Academic Search Premier
• Organizing your references into subject or project-based folders
• Manually adding references
• Easy automatic bibliographies in a range of styles (eg. APA, MLA)

Advanced Usage (if there's time & interest)

• Storing articles (eg. PDFs) in RefWorks
• Using the Write-N-Cite Microsoft Word plugin
• RefShare for collaboration and public reference lists
  
• RefMobile for devices such as iPhone
  

So come on out Friday to get started with RefWorks! And remember, the Park Library staff is available to assist you with RefWorks, whether you are a total beginner or you use it all the time. Please come see us with your questions!
