  • RefWorks in Three Steps: Undergraduate Team Bibliographies Yorke-Barber, Phil Ghiculescu, Cristina Possin, Gisela Foreign Countries Bibliographies Computer Software Citations (References) Web Sites Undergraduate Students Student Projects Research Projects Physical Sciences Engineering Cooperative Learning RefWorks is ideally suited for undergraduate students with team-based research projects as part of their course assessment. The Dorothy Hill Physical Sciences and Engineering Library at the University of Queensland taught students from three engineering courses how to use RefWorks to manage project references and to create team-based bibliographies. One team member created the account, all collected references, and one created the bibliography. In-text citations were done manually. Students could immediately see the relevance of RefWorks in the library class when they began finding information and creating the bibliography for their projects. Despite the far from perfect bibliographies produced, librarians are optimistic that with a few changes to the teaching of RefWorks, students' referencing skills can be substantially improved.
