RefWorks is a service that helps you save, organize and format sources for all of your assignments.

Its best feature is its full integration with the library's databases: anything you find in your searches can be saved to RefWorks with just a few clicks. Your RefWorks account is available to you on any computer using your RCC email address and the password you create. Here's how to get started:

Create your account here, using your RCC email address as your username.
Watch some tutorials here, to get an idea of what a citation manager is, why you want one, and how it works.
Try some database searches, and click the "export" button on articles' detail pages to save sources to your RefWorks library.
Contact your librarians at library1@rcc.mass.edu with questions or concerns.

Watch the library events calendar for workshops about writing citations, avoiding plagiarism, and using RefWorks.
