BCR Offers Free RefWorks Trial
By Lisa Holmberg
BCR and CSA are offering BCR member libraries a free trial to RefWorks. This online research management and collaboration tool is
designed to help researchers easily gather, manage, store and share all types of information, as well as generate citations and
bibliographies.
RefWorks is an online research management tool that allows users to create personal databases and use them for a variety of research activities. References are quickly and easily imported from text files or online databases, which can be used to manage, store and share the information. Users can automatically insert references from their database into their papers to generate formatted bibliographies and manuscripts in just seconds.
As a Web-based resource, RefWorks allows users to access their database from anywhere, making it easy to deliver, maintain and support. RefWorks is available to users across various platforms including Windows, Mac, Unix, etc. All product upgrades are included in the subscription price.
All BCR member libraries are invited to participate in a free RefWorks trial, which runs 45 days through mid-July. BCR will be providing discounted access to RefWorks. Sign up for the trial at www.bcr.org/trials/refworkstrial.html. If you have questions, contact BCR's Ellen Fox (efox@bcr.org).
