Annotated bibliographies: New RefWorks layout

You may already be using our referencing management software, RefWorks.  This month we have launched a new output style for people working on annotated bibliography assignments.  The output style is called Harvard - UoB - Annotated Bibliography. 

Add your references to RefWorks in the usual way. Then click on 'Edit' (the pencil icon next to the reference) and add your notes to the 'Personal Notes' field. The 'personal notes' field in RefWorks fits a lot of text (I don't know if there is a limit but it fits two pages of A4 text easily!)

Repeat this for each reference.  When you are ready to generate your bibliography, set the output style to Harvard - UoB - Annotated Bibliography.  Your reference list will then be formatted with the reference in the University style with the notes underneath.

The example above also illustrates that you can group references together by adding them to folders.  So these two references are in a folder called 'Jill's Essay'.  You can add an individual reference to more than one folder.
