To organize your research and produce a bibliography and in-text citations, create a free account in RefWorks

RefWorks is a web-based research management, writing and collaboration tool. Make a RefWorks folder for your EDU 100 projects, and for each paper that you need to write this semester. Then "export" references (and full text) from a library database to RefWorks. Use RefWorks Write-n-Cite to insert in-text references, and then use RefWorks to format a bibliography/works cited list.
