About RefWorks

Are you having trouble keeping track of journal articles, books, Web sites, and other resources you've found while doing research for a paper?

GET TO KNOW           


RefWorks is a Web-based personal database provided by the BC Libraries that lets you collect and organize citations and access them from any computer with a Web connection.

RefWorks will even take your list and generate a bibliography of references, using APA, MLA, or another format that you select.

This page provides instructions for creating your personal RefWorks account and using it for communication research.  For more information, contact me or ask for help at Ask A Librarian 24/7.
