Got Bibliography?

Now you do with RefWorks (link removed), "Your personal online database and bibliography creator."

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic manager that allows you to create and organize your own personal database of references. You can import references from multiple databases such as Ovid (link removed), PubMed (link removed), EBSCOhost (link removed), and BioMed Central (link removed), and you can import saved text files.

Don't have a reference from an online source? Don't worry. You can also enter references the old-fashioned way, manually. Once you have your references in your database, you can organize them and create a bibliography in seconds. RefWorks will even format your references using the style of your choice, and you can select from over 250 styles including APA, Vancouver, MLA, and Turabian. You can also incorporate your references and bibliography directly into a paper while you write using Write-N-Cite or One Line/Cite View.

Already using another bibliographic manager? That's okay. You can use RefWorks too. RefWorks will import your references from other bibliographic managers such as ProCite and EndNote, and since RefWorks is web-based, you can access your RefWorks database from home, school, or work.

To get started, head on over to the Library Services (link removed) web page and click on RefWorks. Access is available on-campus to all LSUHSC domain computers and off-campus via the WAM (link removed) (Web Access Management) portion of the Library's catalog (link removed). To use WAM patrons must be registered with the Library and have an LSUHSC barcode. Once you have reached the RefWorks homepage, click on User Login to sign up for an individual account. Registration is free, and once you have signed up you will receive an email confirming your registration. For more information on how to use RefWorks check out the Quick Start Guide (link removed) (pdf) and Tutorial (link removed).
