RefWorks Quick Start Guide

There are some library databases and other resources from which RefWorks cannot import references. These resources may display information in a format that RefWorks is unable to interpret, such as LexisNexis Academic and CQ Researcher. In other cases, your source information may simply not be in an electronic format, such as a printed bibliography or a personal interview. Fortunately, RefWorks allows you to enter information about references manually, either by typing in the needed information, or by copying and pasting from another electronic source.
