RefWorks is a web based citation management tool that the UBC Library licensed in April 2005.
Starting in August 2006, the UBC Library will have access to the add on module, RefShare. RefShare provides a quick and easy way to share references with others at UBC and globally with researchers who have internet access. RefShare creates of a website for the RefWorks database or folders and allows users to search, export references and/or create bibliographies. The website can be shared on a centrally created RefWorks webpage, posted on a particular website or in WebCt and/or sent to a specific group or person by email.
