What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic software package that enables you to:
- Organize your research
- Create a bibliography in a variety of citation styles, including APA, MLA and Chicago
- Import references from many data sources
- Create bibliographies in different document formats (Word, RTF, HTML, etc.)
- Include citations while you write your paper
- Being web-based means no software to download and update, and you can access your personal account from any computer connected to the internet.
- RefWorks Quick Start Guide (PDF)
- Installing Write-N-Site for Off-Campus Use (a one-time set up of the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility)
- Converting from EndNote (and other programs) to RefWorks
- Tutorials
