What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a way to collect, manage, and organize research papers and documents. Linked to your Summon search result list, you can easily read, annotate, organize, and cite your research. Create simple bibliographies or papers formatted with in-text citations or footnotes. Drag-and-drop documents and upload bibliographic information into your personal library. Use the Save to RefWorks feature to capture research from websites with the click of a button. Then collaborate with friends and colleagues by sharing collections.
