See below for RefWorks access instructions.

RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases. You can use these references in writing your papers and automatically format the paper and the bibliography when you are ready.

RefWorks allows you to…

• Create a database of your references (an unlimited number of references can be added and you can create and share several RefWorks databases)
• Import references from the UMass Dartmouth Voyager catalog
• Import references from external databases such as those available on the Library's eResouces web page (e.g. CINAHL, ABI Inform, InfoTrac, etc.)
• Organize and manage your references
• Create and format bibliographies and manuscripts and easily make changes to your paper and reformat whenever you want
• Import references from a variety of databases using the already created Import Filters.
• Searching your RefWorks database is fast and easy – RefWorks automatically creates author, descriptor and periodical indexes when importing so you just click on the word to perform the retrieval. Use Quick Search to search all fields for the most comprehensive results or Advanced Search to narrow your search to specific terms and fields.

There is a RefWorks tutorial available within the program itself (just click on the "Tutorial" link at the top of the RefWorks interface). Or try the Quickstart guide at http://www.refworks.com/Refworks/help/Refworks.htm#Quick_Start_Guide.htm

RefWorks can be accessed from any Macintosh or Windows computer with internet access and one of the following web browsers:

• Internet Explorer Version 5.0 or later
• Netscape Version 4.7 or later
