Putting Resources Into RefWorks

Oakland University provides faculty, staff, and students access to RefWorks accounts. RefWorks is a citation management tool that allows users to "collect, manage, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate with friends and colleagues by sharing collections" of resources (RefWorks, 2016).

RefWorks allows you to create a personal list of references and to format your bibliography in any citation style. Depending on the resource you're using, the process for exporting references into RefWorks will be slightly different. Use the sidebar at the left to review available resources and how to incorporate your sources into RefWorks.
