RefWorks is a Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows the
creation of personal databases by importing references from text files or
online library databases. These references can be used in writing papers and
include the option of automatically formatting the paper and the bibliography
in seconds. This service is provided for KU faculty, staff, and students.

Instructional Services offers workshops on RefWorks to the KU community. For details see www.infotraining.ku.edu.
It is possible to import references into RefWorks from many information sources, such as library catalogs or bibliographic databases (like ArticleFirst, Expanded Academic ASAP, JSTOR, MLA International Bibliography, PubMed, Web of Science, and many others). This allows researchers to store the references they need quickly and easily, without cutting and pasting or retyping them. Directions for saving and importing references vary, depending on the information source.
Detailed instructions for importing references from databases are available online here and through Instructional Services.
If you have problems creating a RefWorks account or using RefWorks off campus, contact the Help Desk (864-0200 or question@ku.edu).
Once you've created a RefWorks account, additional help is available through Instructional Services (864-0410 or training@ku.edu) for troubleshooting related to importing, searching, and citing references using RefWorks.
Troubleshooting and help information is also available on RefWorks web site at www.refworks.com.
