designed to help you to organize references and create a bibliography.
RefWorks allows you to search, retrieve relevant citations, and build
your bibliography. It allows users to create individual or group
accounts, and makes it easy to write papers, or post your results to
web pages.<br>
<br>
This session will be a hands-on practicum. Attendees will create a
personal web account and create a database of cited literature by
importing references from resources such as Barton, Web of Science,
PubMed and other sources of published literature. You will learn how
to organize your references, and to generate manuscripts and
bibliographies.</font></div>
