Managing Your References and using RefWorks for Citing References

RefWorks is computer software that enables you to store references to journal articles, books, websites, etc. and to reproduce these references automatically in an essay, dissertation or thesis. The software also produces an automatic bibliography and it can be made to display in many different referencing styles, such as Harvard, APA, footnotes, etc. Hours of typing can be reduced to a few seconds.

RefWorks can be used by all University of Leicester staff and students and is particularly useful for Distance Learners and off campus users, since the software and references can be accessed anywhere from an internet connection.

Instructions on how to use RefWorks can be found in this online tutorial.

Regular training sessions are offered by Library staff or via Student Development
