RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from OneSearch, the Library catalog, and other online databases. You can also manually input references you find from other sources, such as websites and online journals.
RefWorks is a great timesaver. Once you've stored your references in RefWorks, you can easily import them while writing papers and creating bibliographies.
