There are lots of research literature databases that allow you to export references straight to RefWorks e.g. PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus. This is the recommended way of getting references into RefWorks, and we have lots of instructions on how to do this for different databases . If you are using a webpage that doesn't allow you to export directly to RefWorks then you can try using the RefGrab-IT bookmarklet.

By Gouwenaar (Own work) [CC0], via Wikimedia Commons I'm sure many of you, over the last several years, will have met Dr Helen Steele . Either in a training session, via a 1to1 appointment or through the Thesis Forum . Helen has now left us for exciting adventures in The Netherlands, and I'm sure you'd like to join us in wishing her all the best for the future. Dr William Farrell will be joining us on July 6th, as the new Research Information Advisor. William has a PhD in history and has recently been working on the SESHAT - the Global History Databan k project. In the meantime you can still get help, or make a 1to1 appointment, with me or one of the subject librarians by emailing librarians@le.ac.uk  Selina
