A web-based citation and bibliography manager that allows you to create your own personal database of references/citations by importing them from online indexes/databases or text files, or by uploading PDFs into this tool.

• Each person needs to set up an individual account to use it
• Click on the Account Set-up link in this guide for more information

Here are a couple of ways to access RefWorks:

• Via this link: 

• Via the Bethel Libraries web page
  • Library Accounts > RefWorks > Log in to 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 allows you to organize your citations into subject folders
• It provides links to articles that are full-text in one of the online indexes/databases to which the Bethel Libraries subscribe, or to PDFs that have been uploaded into RefWorks
  (The latter is a 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., APA)
• If you use the companion program, RefWorks Citation Manager, it will format your in-text citations as well as your reference list

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 created.
