RefWorks Blog

RefWorks is a web-based bibliography manager which allows an individual to create a personal bibliographic database. A user can build a database by importing references or citations from a text file, from a library database, or by manually typing in the information. These references may then be exported to a manuscript, term paper, technical report, thesis, dissertation, or any other document. With the click of a button, RefWorks will format a paper with references in a variety of citation formats.

The system is available to K-Staters. You must create your account from a computer on campus or by using a computer that uses K-State as its Internet Service Provider (ISP).

To get started:

1. Go to to RefWorks and click on User Login link at the top of the page to register your name and password. You will receive an e-mail with welcome information along with a group code. Save this e-mail. The group code will enable you to access Refworks from offsite or a non-registered IP address.



2. When in RefWorks, click on the Tutorial link for detailed instructions. Begin creating your list of references.
