REFWORKS FOR THE SCIENCES – Monday, March 7th, 2011 at 10:00AM – 12:00PM Woodward Library Teaching Lab B25

RefWorks is a web-based citation management tool sponsored by the UBC Library and available free-of-charge to current UBC faculty, staff, and students.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to create your own personal database in RefWorks by importing references from online resources such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, Compendex and others. Then you’ll use RefWorks to add these citations to a paper and automatically format both in text references and the bibliography in a citation style of your choice.

We are investigating purchasing the following article indexes/databases through Ebsco platform and would like your opinions on whether this would be a useful and preferred change, or not.
