Citation Help: RefWorks Guide

Refworks is a helpful citation management tool.  It can do the following:

• Store and organize your research including citations and full-text
• Format your bibliographies in APA, MLA, and other citation styles
• Allow you to integrate citations and bibliography into your paper in Word or Google Docs
• Allow you to share your citations with other RefWorks users
• Be accessed anywhere -- even after you leave YU

Note: Always check citation accuracy, since errors occasionally occur.

To get started using RefWorks, see the information below.  More information can be found at the RefWorks YouTube Channel.
