It seems worthwhile to start the students using RefWorks, since we'll have a license and we need to explore its implications for the campus. It's a lot to ask of them, but I think the example will prove to be worthwhile. It also minimizes the hassle of producing bibliographies by hand, and lets us concentrate instead on the content of what they are finding.
It does mean that I'll have to make the support materials, and put a lot of effort into support for their attempts, but I won't have to do all that tiresome proofreading.
