ProQuest RefWorks: Welcome to the New RefWorks!

• The new RefWorks is a pure cloud-based reference management and collaboration service that empowers researchers to do more, faster, making it easier to focus on high-value tasks that get them closer to their goals.
• You can read annotate, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate with friends and colleagues by sharing collections.
• RefWorks' drag and drop capability along with the smart document recognition makes it easy and fast to upload documents and bibliographic metadata into your library and the Save to RefWorks feature allows you to capture research from websites with the click of a button. 
• From simple bibliographies to papers formatted with in-text citations or footnotes, RefWorks handles it all.
• An institutional account is available to all CSIR employees and includes 10GB of document storage, unlimited sharing inside and outside the institution, easy institution-wide sharing.
• RefWorks can be used in conjunction with both OpenOffice Writer and MS Word. This introductory course was designed to get you started on RefWorks, the CSIR's preferred reference management tool.
