[Editors] Re: Editors Digest, Vol 24, Issue 4

[Steven Strang]

The library now subscribes to RefWorks--a very useful tool. You type in (or 
inport) the relevant info (author, title, etc.) and then choose whatever 
citation format you wish (APA, MLA, Chicago, literally dozens of styles) 
and the program automatically formats your bibliography and in-text 
citations in the correct format. It really works. Howard Silver is the 
contact person in the library.
