RefWorks and Zotero

Log into the new RefWorks.

View the Zotero.org website for downloading Zotero.

You can use citation management tools like RefWorks or Zotero to organize your references and quickly generate in-text citations and bibliographies. Gettysburg supports both of these citation managers, and they are installed on lab machines. Musselman Library is encouraging RefWorks users to switch over to the new version.
For more information, refer to the tabs at the top of the page.
