Why use RefWorks?

As we have seen RefWorks can help us collect our references. It will also:

•Allow us to organise our references into categories.•Create a bibliography.•Insert references directly into a word document.

RefWorks is accessible via the Library website.

When you open it, it looks like this.

Note the ability to create folders, allowing you to store your references in categories or themes.

We can add references into a Word document.

On campus Word has an extra tab, it will either be called ProQuest or RefWorks.

Select this and then click Log-in.We need to sync our document with our RefWorks libraries.

In RefWorks select Tools and Write-N-Cite.

Copy and paste the log-in code into the log-in box in Word.

If you use Word at home you may not see the RefWorks tab. However, you can install it from the Tools > Write-N-Cite page. There are downloads available to enable you to use this function on your own computer.
