How can I download citations from Knovel into either Refworks or ENDNOTE?

Knovel provides electronic access to leading engineering reference handbooks, databases, and conference proceedings.

To access knovel from the Library’s web site, go to Electronic Databases and then click on Knovel:Engineering & Scientific Online Reference.

In order to download a citation into either Refworks or ENDNOTE, first click on the citation from the list of items you found after a search.  Click on ‘Citation’. Click on ‘Export’. Select either ‘ENDNOTE’ or “Refworks’ for downloading your citation.

With this new feature in Knovel, you will now be able include citation(s) of any electronic book from Knovel in your bibliography. In engineering design projects, you often need to use electronic handbooks in order to develop background necessary in a particular subject area for your project. This new feature will allow you to download references from Knovel automatically so that your bibliography can now include electronic books as references  in addition to your scholarly journal articles you may have found using engineering databases such as Engineering Village, Earthquake Engineering Abstracts, Environmental Engineering Abstracts and IEEE Xplore.

What is RefWorks and why would I want to use it? How do I set up RSS feeds in Refworks?

What is RefWorks and why would I want to use it?

RefWorks is a web-based software application that helps you manage citations. It helps you keep track of the sources you are using for your research and your own notes about the sources. It is web-based (no special software installation, downloads, or plug-ins required). It will also create bibliographies for you in the format you specify (APA, IEEE, etc.).

See: Refworks Overview for more information

How do I set up RSS feeds in Refworks?

After you logon to your Refworks account, click on RSS Feed under ‘Search’ Tab. Enter the ‘RSS Feed URL’ in the search box and click on ‘Add RSS Feed’ button.

More tips: In your Refworks account, bring your cursor to ‘Help’ tab. Select ‘Tutorials’ and then click on ‘Refworks Advanced’. Go to ‘Importing from RSS feeds’ section of this virtual tutorial.

See: Using RSS to increase user awareness of e-resources in academic libraries for more information on RSS feeds and how you can keep up-to-date with new research articles from electronic databases such as Ei compendex and INSPEC.
