RefWorks Workshops

Special workshop for faculty and graduate students!
Putting Reading Lists Online in RefShare
Description: Learn how to enter your citations in RefWorks, the UMass Library's online citation management tool, then use the RefShare feature to create sharable reading lists that link back to the library's subscriptions and print holdings. We'll show you how to import RefShare reading lists into SPARK courses, course blogs, Web pages and emails. Your students and colleagues can then export the reading lists into their own RefWorks accounts
Dates & times:
