RefWorks in 15 Minutes
While the ideal way to teach the basic features of RefWorks is to participate in a full training session, we realize that in some situations you may have only a few minutes to demonstrate the power of RefWorks. During this session, you'll rapidly learn how to demonstrate: how to create an account; direct export citations from two databases; create a folder; create a bibliography from a list of citations; and create a bibliography using Write-N-Cite. Designed for people who will be conducting RefWorks training locally.
