RefWorks is a web-based resource designed to help

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.

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.
