2235 Encinitas Boulevard, Suite 216, Encinitas, CA 92024; 760.753.3885; Info@refworks.com; www.refworks.com; $70.00 a year individual subscription, $1,500 a year institutional subscription (up to 2,000 full-time equivalent students, $0.70 per additional student); compatible with Internet Explorer 5.0+, Netscape 4.7+, Word for Windows 97+ or later, and Word for Mac 98+. A frequent question that students ask instructors and librarians is 'How do I put my paper in APA (or another) style?' Faculty and support staff are always looking for ways to make manuscript preparation easier. To address these issues and others related to reference organization, software developers have designed the personal file management program.

RefWorks is a relative newcomer to the ranks of this type of software. Most people are probably familiar with the big triad of Endnote, Reference Manager, and ProCite-all owned by Thomson ISI ResearchSoft. RefWorks' uniqueness lies in the fact that it is Web-based and is simple and easy to use. Because it is Web-based, users can access the program from any computer that has an Internet connection, and there is no local information technology support required, because there is no software to install or upgrade.

Upgrades happen automatically over the Web. Of course, one disadvantage to an Internet-based program is that if users have slow connections or if their networks go down, they cannot access their accounts.

Interestingly, the cofounders of RefWorks are the former chief executive officer, general manager, and director of software for Research Information Systems, the company that created Reference Manager, so they are well versed in personal file management programs. RefWorks is distributed through Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA), and, as a result, many of the CSA databases work seamlessly with the program. Another appeal of RefWorks is its affordability.

Subscription to the program for one year is $70.00 for individuals. For institutions, the $1,500 price is based on a full-time equivalent (FTE) of less than 2,000 full-time students. If full-time enrollment is more than 2,000, the subscription price is $0.70 per head. This allows unlimited access to RefWorks for one year to any authorized user of the library (students, faculty, staff, or administration). Because it can be purchased as a subscription and can be offered freely to faculty, staff, and students, this makes it more accessible for institutions than other stand-alone products.

Libraries concerned about purchasing or supporting another personal file management program for their institution do not need to view it as an either/or selection. Users of other personal file management programs can use RefWorks in conjunction with their software. The flexibility of working remotely and exporting records into a standalone program makes RefWorks highly compatible with existing programs. After registering, an email message is sent from RefWorks with an institution-specific remote access code. This code is required, in addition to a login and password, every time the system is accessed from a location away from the institution's Internet protocol (IP) range. Thus researchers can access their RefWorks account from anywhere with an Internet connection.

RefWorks is very easy to learn and easy to teach. It is designed for anyone-students, faculty, clinicians, and researchers. The simplicity of the interface makes it an especially useful program for students and busy clinicians. It is a somewhat more simplified version of the big three programs, but, for the vast majority of users, that is perfectly fine. The benefits of an easier learning curve outweigh the need for all the bells and whistles. Also, its simplified interface has not resulted in a loss of functionality or inability to tailor the program to the individual user's needs. RefWorks has all the same basic features as the other big three: the ability to create references manually using a variety of templates; a master list of authors, keywords, and journals; a built-in search engine for searching databases like PubMed and online catalogs; the ability to import from remote databases; and the ability to format in-text citations and references for a manuscript.
