What is RefWorks? What does it do?
RefWorks is software that enables you to enter citations to books, articles, web pages, etc. into a database, and allows you to easily insert footnotes, parenthetical references, and bibliographies into your papers and manuscripts. RefWorks runs entirely over the Internet, so you don’t need to install any software on your computer (though there are small plug-ins for Microsoft Word and OpenOffice that you can install if you choose to). RefWorks also keeps your database on their computers, so you don’t have to put it on a disk yourself. Once you have an account, you should be able to get to it anywhere you have Internet access.
