Library Guides: LHS Reusable Content: Referencing and Refworks (Old)

Why do I need to reference my work?

It is very important that you record accurately and consistently details of any material that you consult. This allows your lecturer to see:

what you have read and the sources that you have used and, if necessary to trace your references.
the references you have used to support a specific statement in your piece of work.
that you are not trying to pass another author's work off as your own (plagiarism).

What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management service which allows you to collect, organise and store references from a variety of sources, such as books, journal articles and websites. It can also help you with in-text citing and with producing a bibliography

Classes to show you how to make the best use of RefWorks are held in all campus libraries regularly during semester. The Refworks Subject Guide is also available to help you get started.
