This document provides instructions for exporting references from various library resources, including the library search, EBSCO databases, IEEE Xplore, and Science Direct, to the citation management tool RefWorks. It explains how to save references to the Favorites folder in Library Search before exporting, and that exported references will be saved to the Last Imported folder in RefWorks but can then be moved to other folders. The document offers help contacts for any additional questions about using RefWorks.
