I want to use RefWorks or other tools

ProQuest RefWorks is a reference management tool which supports you to collect, manage and organize research papers and documents. You can read annotate, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate with friends and colleagues by sharing collections.

ProQuest RefWorks’ drag and drop capability along with its smart document recognition makes it easy and fast to upload documents and bibliographic metadata and the Save to RefWorks feature allows you to capture research from websites with the click of a button.

Create reference lists, bibliographies and format your work with in-text citations or footnotes using RefWorks.

The Library recommends and supports students using ProQuest RefWorks, however, this does not mean that you cannot use other reference management software.
