RefWorks and EndNote 21 are bibliography and database managers that help you create citations and reference lists for your writings. You can import references of books, articles, theses, dissertations, conference proceedings, etc. from online databases and other various sources into RefWorks/EndNote 21, and export them in the reference styles you choose (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) into Word or other types of documents. The first time you use RefWorks/EndNote 21, you need to sign up for a new account while you are ON CAMPUS or via UIC VPN. Once you have set up your account, you can access your RefWorks/EndNote 21 anywhere, anytime directly.
