RefWorks Tips for Engineering Databases
one page handout (PDF)
RefWorks is a Web-based bibliographic service that allows you to save citations from library databases into your own personal database. You can then organize these citations within folders, automatically format them within papers, and create instant bibliographies in a variety of styles. For some library databases, you can export records directly into your RefWorks account. For others, you must first save the relevant records as a text file, then import them using the appropriate filter.
Note: No filter can accommodate all variations in citation formats. Be prepared to edit imported records so that they appear correctly in your citations and bibliographies.
