Have you tried RefWorks yet?

We are delighted to say that, since we launched RefWorks last month, 90 ITB students and staff have created an account. 



For those of you who have yet to create an account, or those of you who have created an account but not used it much yet, here are some of the things RefWorks can help you with:
  • Keeping a record of the different sources of information you read
  • Using folders to organise the information you read for each subject/assignment
  • Importing citation information directly from the ITB databases
  • Creating citations within the text of your assignment as you write
  • Creating a bibliography of the sources you used in your assignment
Not bad, eh!




If you have ever signed up for any online account (or even if you haven't), creating an account is easy.  Just follow this guide.

Our introductory guide will show you how to add a reference, organise your references into folders, and how to create a bibliography.  To learn how to import references for articles you read in the ITB databases, have a look at the database guide.

And finally, the Write 'n Cite guide will help you to use the MS Word plugin to import your references into your work as you type.

If you have any questions, we are happy to help!  Contact us at libraryinfo@itb.ie
