Tired of formatting references? Try RefWorks!

RefWorks is a bibliographic management database that serves as

  1. A database that stores & manages bibliographic references
  2. A bibliography maker that builds lists of cited works automatically
  3. A simple way to search online bibliographic databases and retrieve references

For more information, see the RefWorks page created by the Library.

In the meantime, after compiling all your resources for your paper it is important to accurately cite the information gathered. There are a number of style guides for print and electronic resources available at the library. Please check with you professor for what citation style they would prefer you use.
