Legacy RefWorks Guide: Welcome

It is Reference Management Software that lets you:

• Create a database of references imported from online resources such as databases and websites
• Organise those references into folders
• Insert references directly into a Word document choosing from a range of referencing styles
• Create a bibliography of all or a selection of your references.

Any student or member of staff at De Montfort University can use RefWorks. As it is a web-based facility it can be accessed from anywhere there is Internet access.

This guide covers the essentials of:

• Starting to use RefWorks
