We’re offering RefWorks Fundamentals and RefWorks in 15 Minutes this month on our new RefWorks 2.0 Beta interface. We’re also offering sessions on RefWorks Administration functions, RefShare and Write-N-Cite III for Windows; for now, those tools will remain on the RefWorks classic interface.
This month we’re also going to offering a session on RefWorks Fundamentals and RefWorks in 15 minutes on the Classic interface.


Additionally, we’re offering two new topics:

 

1) Beyond Direct Export: Five Other Ways to Import Information to RefWorks (40 minutes) Direct export is but one method for adding references; In this webinar we will review these other methods, which are: Importing from a text file; searching online catalogs or databases from within RefWorks; using a web browser tool called RefGrab-It to capture references from a web page; importing records from RSS feeds; entering references manually

 

2) Using RefWorks to Quickly Import Citations and Write a Paper (30 minutes) In this 30-minute session, you’ll learn how to directly import citations from two online databases. Then you’ll see how to quickly create a bibliography for a paper two ways: 1) from a list or folder of citations in your RW account and 2) with in-text citations via the one line/cite view method. This session is primarily for undergraduates or beginning RefWorks users.
