What Would the Librarian Do?

Creating a Group RefWorks Account
Method 1A project member creates a personal RefWorks account
and shares his/her login ID and password with all in the group
Method 2A project member creates a “project account” using a
fictitious user name and shares the login ID and password with all in the group
Some VIRGO (and Other Databases) Hints
• Use single quotes in VIRGO to search for phrases—use double quotes in most other databases:
‘hurricane katrina’ or “hurricane katrina”
• Use the truncation symbol $ and Boolean connectors to improve results (symbol may vary in other databases):
hurricane$ AND (wind OR tornado$) NOT flood$
• Try various combinations of terms and synonyms to insure best coverage and specificity
