RefWorks Announces Direct Export from Google Scholar

Users of Google Scholar can now add citations from their searches directly to their RefWorks account, and so to their bibliographies. It's really easy - here is a short video tutorial on how to set this up.

RefWorks is a personal bibliographic software manager that is free of charge for all St. Thomas students, faculty, and staff. RefWorks makes managing bibliographic references easy and efficient, since users can either input citations manually or export citations directly from a number of the research databases at the UST libraries.

Access to RefWorks is available from the UST Libraries RefWorks Login page.
