Organize & Cite
RefWorks* is a tool that provides you with the capability to store and organize your research materials. You can export citations from databases and web sites, annotate, create bibliographies, and footnote from these tools. *Be sure to access the database via the Yale server when off campus. Instructions can be found at http://www.library.yale.edu/pubstation/proxy/proxy_about.html
- RefWorks workshops To learn more about how to use RefWorks check out one of the available workshops. If these dates don't work for you contact one of us and we'll make other arrangements.
