You will get the most out of RefWorks if you combine it with one of the writing tool plugins available in your RefWorks account. Using both will give you the ability to insert footnotes as you're writing your paper and to generate a matching bibliography, all in the Turabian citation style. Here are the steps to take to get ready:

1. Create your RefWorks account - see the handout in the box below, "Introduction to RefWorks" for instructions.
2. Watch the videos below to learn RefWorks' basic functions.
3. Watch the video below about the writing tool plugins, "Writing with RefWorks."
4. Go to the Tools section of your RefWorks account and install one of the three plugins on your computer. The easiest to install is the Google Docs add-on; but if it won't, try closing all Google Doc windows, open your document again, and then try installing again.
5. See the document below for screenshots and instructions on how to write a paper using Google Docs and RefWorks. The process is very similar if you choose one of the other plugins with Microsoft Word instead.
