Introducing RefWorks & Online Help

           RefWorks is a web-based bibliography and database manager that allows you to create your own

     personal database by importing references from text files or online databases and other various

     sources. You can use these references in writing papers and automatically format the paper and the

     bibliography in seconds.

            Refworks is available to all current NCCU students, faculty, and staff.

            To get started using RefWorks, there are a few things you'll want to focus on first:

• Creating Your Account (or Database)
• Getting References Into Your Database
• Organizing Your References
• Managing Your References
• Finding References In Your Database
• Creating A Bibliography And Formatting A Paper
