The UCI Libraries recently began a campus-wide
subscription to RefWorks,
a web accessible resource that enables researchers to
- collect and manage citations to books, journal articles, conference
proceedings, et cetera;
- format them according to precise styles (e.g., MLA, APA, Turabian,
Chicago); and
- create a bibliography for use in a research paper or publication.
Because RefWorks is a web application, it is accessible from every
campus computer and every off-campus computer that is connected
to the campus network through the VPN and proxy server. You no
longer need to purchase and download software in order to manage
your citations*! Go to the RefWorks
web site and begin by creating a user account.
To help you learn how to use RefWorks, the Libraries have created
a RefWorks web page with
links to helpful information, such as RefWorks user guides and
tutorials. We will also be offering several RefWorks workshops.
The Libraries will continue to support EndNote, a similar application.
Currently the Libraries provide access to EndNote version 6 in
the Multimedia
Resources Center (MRC), Langson
Library Technology Enhanced Classroom (TEC), Interactive
Learning Center (ILC), and in the Grunigen
Medical Library at the UCI Medical Center. Students, faculty
and staff may buy their own copy of EndNote at the UCI
Computer Store.
