Organize References and Create Bibliographies

Miner Library supports three bibliographic citation management programs (RefWorks, EndNote, and Reference Manager) to organize references and format bibliographies and manuscripts. These programs allow you to:

• Import citations from many databases, including Ovid Medline and PubMed
• Create personal databases of references
• Format bibliographies and manuscripts using different citation styles

RefWorks

Miner Library, in partnership with the UR River Campus Libraries and Information Technology Services, provides a University-wide subscription to RefWorks.

Because RefWorks is web-based, it has unique features:

• Each user creates an individual RefWorks account/personal database to protect data integrity.
• You can access and update personal databases from any computer connected to the Internet either on campus or off site.
• RefWorks is available at no charge for all UR users. You do not need to purchase any software.
• RefWorks is never out of date. Upgrades are automatic, so all UR users automatically have access to the most recent version.
• RefWorks is compatible with both PCs and Macs.
• The RefShare module allows users to share their references with members of their own institution and with non-UR researchers.

Learn more about RefWorks:
