The toolbar’s integrated search box has options to search Google, the ASU Libraries online catalog, our Libguides (subject research guides), Google Scholar, Electronic Journal titles and Worldcat. The “Research Tools” provides quick links to valuable tools such as RefWorks, LibGuides, Interlibrary Loan, and your library account.

The Library Minute is a weekly program telling you about the resources and services at all of the ASU Libraries in one minute.
This week Anali talks about RefWorks, a bibliographic citation manager which allows you to create a personal database of the references you use for your research. Refworks allows you to import and organize citations from research databases, the libraries catalog and Google Scholar all in one place.
Refworks also works with Write-N-Cite to help you include your citations as you are writing papers in Microsoft Word.
