4. What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is a web-based bibliography and database manager.
It allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases.
You can use these references in your essays and automatically format the paper and the bibliography.

5. Setting up an account
When you first use RefWorks, you will need to set up an account. The next time you return to RefWorks, you can access it via the database list.

6. Legacy Refworks
You may find that RefWorks are trying to promote ‘New RefWorks’. If you are offered these two choices, go for what they are calling ‘legacy’ RefWorks.

7. Importing references 1. Automatically from a database
Open and log in to RefWorks
Log into the database you want to search
Do a search
Look for or options to ‘export’ (sometimes located in a folder or the save/print section)
Follow the steps to export your reference

8. Export works best if you are already logged into your RefWorks account
Export works best if you are already logged into your RefWorks account. It is also best to turn off your pop-up blocker through Internet options on Internet Explorer
The database will then export the details to your RefWorks (it’s easier to log in first)
It is good practice to organise your imported references immediately by moving them from the last imported folder into a named topic folder that you have created
Choose relevant records (e.g. journal articles) to export to RefWorks

Once you have accessed your title and wish to export the details from an articles on screen, you need to:
Select the article by clicking on its title;
Click on ‘Download citation’;

Confirm by clicking on the button to export into RefWorks.

11. Importing references 3. From Library Search

Click on ‘Saved Items’ folder at top-right side of the screen
