RefWorks is a web-based program that allows you to easily collect, manage, and organize bibliographic references by interfacing with databases. RefWorks also interfaces directly with Word, making it easy to import references and incorporate them into your writing, properly formatted according to the style of your choice.

The library offers a weekly drop-in clinic for help in using citation management systems such as RefWorks on Friday afternoons from 2-4pm in the Big Red Barn. Can’t wait until Friday? Send your questions about any aspect of RefWorks/EndNote to: citemanage-l@cornell.edu

The library also offers many workshops on using RefWorks and another citation management program called EndNote. Free classes on both systems are offered to Cornell students and faculty. For more information and to register, visit our workshop web site.

Give credit where credit is due. By properly citing the sources you use in your research projects you are both identifying the resources that you used to complete your work and you are formally acknowledging the authors or creators of those resources.
