Bibliographies now easier!

APA got you down? MLA a mystery? Then you'll be glad to know that the library has just acquired Refworks - a web-based citation management tool that allows you to collect, edit, and organize your bibliographic citations. Refworks takes the headaches out of creating your bibliography, reference list or works cited page.

It's easy: when you are searching one of the library's journal databases, you simply mark the citations you want, export them to Refworks and they will be automatically converted to the style you have selected (MLA, APA, Chicago, Turabian or dozens of others). No more trying to remember if the journal title is underlined or italicized, if the page number is included, where does the date go?

Everyone at Saint Mary's can create their own free Refworks account. For help in getting started, look for the Refworks link at the top of the style guides page on our web site.

In addition, there will be a Refworks instruction session this Friday (October 27) from 1:30-3:00 in Loyola 279. Librarians will show you how to use Refworks and get the most out of it. There are just 30 spots available, so sign up at the reference desk in the library or call 420-5544.
