Software for Creating Citations and Bibliographies:
RefWorks/Write-n-Cite - RefWorks is a web-based citation manager program available to UA faculty, staff and students. It allows one to import citations from many of our databases, or input them manually, and then create bibliographies automatically in the desired style format. (See a list of the available style formats supported by RefWorks.)
Write-n-Cite is a related software program that can be downloaded and installed from the Refworks site. This program works within MS Word as you write your paper to allow you to access your citations stored in RefWorks and to automatically create footnotes and a bibliography.
See our RefWorks Guide for further information. A great FAQ.
Refworks Export Instructions - These instructions will show you the export methods of each database at U of A library. Most databases are self explanatory, a few have additional steps.
