Library offers new program to manage citations, bibliographies

The process of managing citations for research papers or journal articles is now easier with UConn’s new web-based bibliographic management program “RefWorks.”

RefWorks functions as a personal bibliographic database, storing the information on books, book chapters, journal articles, or other bibliographic references.

In addition to organizing an unlimited number of references, the program operates in conjunction with Microsoft Word to automatically arrange, italicize, underline, and otherwise punctuate the bibliographic information into endnotes that comply with the rules of the APA, MLA, or many other bibliographic styles.

The Babbidge Library is offering workshops on how to use the new program.

Any current UConn student, staff person, or faculty member at any campus may sign up for a free RefWorks account and register to attend a workshop. Go to http://refworks.uconn.edu.
