RefWorks…….
• It allows you to:
– Save citations as you search
– Organize your research
– Include citations while you write your paper
– Build a bibliography in a variety of formats (APA, MLA, etc.)
– Import references from many data sources including databases, the UWO catalogue, even from web pages.
– Enter citations manually
– Create bibliographies in different document formats (Word, RTF, HTML, etc.)
– Share citations with friends, colleagues, students, etc.
