Once you have imported your references into the
RefWorks database you need a way to locate them so
you can organize and use them in your bibliography.
Searching RefWorks is the easiest and fastest way to
do that.

3. Searching the RefWorks DatabaseSearching the RefWorks Database
Simply type in your
word (or words) in the
“Search” box. For
example search for
‘global warming’.
Some things to know about searches:
They are not case sensitive, so if you like to type in all CAPS - go ahead.
“Quick Search” will search for “embedded terms”, so if you search for
“art”, you’ll get results with “heart”, “part” and “smart”, etc.
If you enter more than one word RefWorks searches for them using “OR”
between the words.
So if you search for “global warming” your search will actually be global
OR warming.
