The University of Iowa Libraries is excited to announce its purchase of a site license to the citation management software RefWorks. RefWorks allows you to import citations from research databases like Business Source Premiere, organize your citations and share them with colleagues, as well as insert your citations into papers and format them in any of hundreds of bibliographic styles.

You may have heard of or used other citation management software programs such as Endnote or ProCite. RefWorks contains the same core functionality as these programs, but it has the advantage of being web-based, so your citations can be accessed from any internet-connected computer, not just the one where the software is installed. If you are currently using one of the other citation management software programs and want to try RefWorks, your citations can easily be imported into RefWorks.

You can create as many RefWorks accounts as you need. For instance, create a personal account as well as one for your department or team. RefWorks makes it easy to share your citations with colleagues at the University of Iowa and beyond.

The RefWorks link and more information about RefWorks can be found at http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/find/refworks.
