Citing Sources

The library offers you a free subscription to Refworks, an online citation management system. Refworks will help you to keep your references organized and will generate a bibliography based on your citation style preference. Library catalog records and databases will often include "export to" links that will allow you to connect the research you find with your Refworks account.
