An Introduction to EndNote and RefWorks Laura Barrett Psychology Librarian Undergraduate Services Librarian
UW Libraries EndNote and RefWorks: Introduction EndNote and RefWorks are bibliographic management programs which help you organize citations and format bibliographies in different formats (APA, MLA, specific journal styles, etc.) EndNote is an application which you install on your computer, meaning your citations are stored on your machine. RefWorks is a web-based service, meaning your citations are stored on the RefWorks server.
