RefWorks will save you hours--literally!--of time. This citation management software can store all your articles and reformat them to meet any citation style. As you perform your research in the library catalog, databases and other online resources, use RefWorks.  Just remember to proofread your works cited (or bibliography or references) page in case a citation wasn't formed properly.
