RefWorks makes use of pop-ups for some of its functions. 

Therefore, you will need to either:

• Tell your browser to allow pop-ups from RefWorks
  

                                             OR

• Disable your pop-up blocker while you are using RefWorks

Here's an online tutorial provided by the company that produces RefWorks:

• It keeps your research more organized by allowing you to store in one place all of the citations
  you have gathered from various online indexes/databases
• It provides links back to articles that are full-text in one of the online indexes/databases to which the Bethel Libraries subscribe
• It allows you to attach PDFs of articles to the citations stored in RefWorks (Great way to store articles requested from other libraries through interlibrary loan!)
• It allows you to create bibliographies/reference lists in a selected citation style (e.g., Turabian)

NOTE:  Although RefWorks is a great program, it is not perfect.  Therefore, when using RefWorks
             to create a bibliography/reference list, be aware that some editing may be needed after
             it has been saved as a Word document.
