The Lasallian Tradition: RefWorks

This guide provides useful resources to the faculty, staff and students researching the person and legacy of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the general history of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and Lasallian world.

RefWorks

Gather, manage, and store citations and bibliographies.

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management service.

  • Allows users to create personal citation databases by importing references from text files or online databases.

  • Also, facilitates manuscript preparation, allowing for automatic formatting of the paper and the bibliography.

There are currently two versions of RefWorks:


New RefWorks - Sign In Page

Legacy RefWorks - Sign In Page

Resources to help you use Legacy Refworks

Please note - Legacy RefWorks will eventually be seamlessly integrated into the New RefWorks.

Citation Management

Collect citation information for every piece of material found as it's found

  • Don't do research twice by having to go back and find material again to get the citation
  • If it is not used in the final draft of the paper, delete it
  • RefWorks (details above) provides a software solution
  • Low-Tech Option is to Copy and Paste citations into a working Bibliography during the research process

Insert citation information into the body of the paper as the paper is written

  • RefWorks' Write-N-Cite Microsoft Word Plugin provides a software solution
  • Low-Tech Option is to create In-Text Citation place holders that refer to back to the citations in the Bibliography

Wait to Format In-Text and Bibliographic Citations until after the paper is complete
