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. For more information and to sign up for an account: http://www.refworks.cornell.edu

Send your questions about any aspect of RefWorks or EndNote (another citation management program) to:
citemanage-l@cornell.edu

The library also offers many workshops on using RefWorks and EndNote. The next RefWorks class, which is free to Cornell students and faculty, will be held on March 3. You can find out more and register online here. If you are unable to attend, please fill out an online request form to set up an individual consultation. 

You'll find many references in the course of your research. Make sure you keep track of what you find! The library offers some great tools to help.
