RefWorks Features

electronic resources. For direct export from databases

- Create bibliographies (Works Cited or
Reference pages) from the citations in your RefWorks
account. View the help guides listed below for assistance.
- Upload attachments to existing
references (up to 200mb of storage space, 5mb upload limit).
See Instructions.
- RefShare allows you to share your RefWorks references with other
