• Manually enter references in your account
• Import from online catalogs or databases
• Globally edit references
• Save all of your citations in an organized collection of folders

Quick Start Instructions on How to Use RefWorks

The Ohio State University Libraries have put together a set of instructions on how to import citations using screen shots of vendor database interfaces (e.g., EBSCOhost, EJC, ISI Web of Science, JSTOR, OCLC, RLG, SilverPlatter). Click here to access this list of databases (Note: You will need to scroll down to about the middle of the page). Kenyon may not have access to every database on this list.
