RefWorks is an online research/citation management tool that allows you to collect, store, and manage citation information. With RefWorks, you can:

• create your own database of references
• organize your references into folders
  
• export references from article databases, websites, and library catalogs directly into RefWorks
  
• generate in-text citations and bibliographies in your choice of citation styles such as APA or MLA style
  

RefWorks has been recently updated with a new look. Please take a tour of the new RefWorks website and watch this video which introduces you to the new layout and functions in RefWorks.
