New RefWorks

New RefWorks is a reference management service that supports the needs of students, staff and researchers. It is principally a 'references database’, and also a bibliography maker. The software allows you to: 1. Search library catalogues (Summon) and import references directly into New RefWorks 2. References found on databases, Google scholar and the internet can be exported directly

to New RefWorks 3. Add references manually; also sort, edit, delete and search for references 4. Insert citations in Microsoft Word or other word-processing software, and/or compile a list

of references (bibliography). (Please note: this guide is only intended as a brief introduction and does not cover all of New RefWorks many features). Tutorials for both basic and advanced use of New RefWorks are available here. New RefWorks webinars, is also available here.
