RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based citation manager that will allow you to: create your own databases of citations by importing references from the WSU Library Catalog and WSU Databases or entering them using a template; automatically generate bibliographies in all major styles (MLA, APA, Turabian, Chicago, etc.); and then export them as several document types (Word, RTF, HTML, etc.)

Getting started

Import citations from:

Library Catalogs: MnPals, Worldcat (2 minutes each)

Databases:

Jstor

Academic Search (EBSCO)

SAGE databases
