RefWorks Workshops

RefWorks is a citation manager that can help keep you organized and create bibliographies when you are writing papers. When you find articles in a database, you click a button to send all of their citation information to your RefWorks account. When you have gathered all of the citations you will use in your paper, you click a button and choose a citation style, and RefWorks formats your bibliography. RefWorks accounts are available to all St. Kate's students and can save you hours of time and lots of energy.
