A citation management tool.  To create an account, login to RefWorks at https://refworks.proquest.com/

Using RefWorks Installed on MS Word
When Refworks is embedded into MS Word, it will make sources citing even easier. TAMU OAL PCs have already got RefWorks installed on Word. If you want to have the same set up with your own laptop, go to RefWorks > Your Name> Tools > Download "Cite in Microsoft Word" and then install it on your MAC or Window PC.
