Refworks Overview
Refworks Powerpoint
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.).

Use Citation Style Sources and go to create a list of works cited to see examples of how books, journal articles, magazine articles, primary sources and newspaper articles can be cited in your research paper.
