RefWorks Workshops – An easier way to organize research & format citations – RSVP NOW!

RefWorks Workshops at the Claire T. Carney Library

RefWorks allows you to create your own database of references. You may then use those references in a bibliography or you may cite references in your paper and RefWorks will format your paper and bibliography in any style that you choose.

The Claire T. Carney Library is offering sessions to help beginners and advanced users. All sessions will meet in the Library’s second floor classroom room 225. These sessions are open to both students and faculty. Bring your laptop if you’d like to set up RefWorks on your own computer.
