6/22 - Refworks 2.0 New Interface Available for Beta Testing

Refworks is a bibliographic management software available to all WSU students and personnel. It is a personal database you can use to store your citations (for articles, books and websites). And importantly it helps you to create bibliographies for your research papers/projects in a variety of citation styles such as MLA, APA and Chicago styles to name a few.

Refworks 2.0 is in beta testing mode. If you would like to try it, you can login and select the 2.0 interface by clicking on the icon in the upper right hand corner of the Refworks interface. Please be aware that some features are not yet available in the new 2.0 interface. For example the customized "output style editor" used by the WSU History department is not yet available. If you select the 2.0 interface, the next time you login your instance of Refworks will login to the 2.0 side. Here are services/features that are and aren't available in the new interface.
