Using New RefWorks Part 1: Getting Started

Oakland University provides faculty, staff, and students access to RefWorks accounts. RefWorks is a citation management tool that allows users to "collect, manage, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate with friends and colleagues by sharing collections" of resources (RefWorks, 2016).

Getting Started - Creating a New RefWorks Account:
