Reference management
There are special software tools called reference managers to help you to collect, organise, and (re)use bibliographic metadata in a personal database.
A reference manager is able to import references and citations (such as titles, authors, publication data etc.) to your own personal database, after which you can use this database to incorporate references into your own article, thesis or manuscript.
The HAN offers access to RefWorks: a web-based service that allows students and staff to store, manage and (re)use their references and citations on all PCs connected to the internet.
Please visit the Refworks website for more information.
