This prompts you to log into RefWorks if you have not already done so. If you are accessing this from off campus, remember to use the group code. Select the article you are interested in citing. This will add some coding to your text {{707 Anthony,Danu B. 2007; }}. When you are done, save the paper, click on bibliography, and select your output style... tireland lllllll
