After visiting Erich Uffelman's Chem 350 class to teach SciFinder on April 20, I was asked to come in to show the students Refworks and how to use it with SciFinder on Thursday April 23. There was a bit of a learning curve for me, but the class was successful and interesting to the students. It lasted 90 minutes, and was the same 5 students from earlier in the week.
All of these students are working on the same project, so they needed to be able to share references with each other. Since we no longer have RefShare, I taught them how to create a "group account" with a common password. I also showed them how to import references from SciFinder, which has no direct export option and requires saving a .txt file to a disk and uploading it to RefWorks. Along the way, I explained how RefWorks will work for individual users, since they all seemed interested in using this outside of Chem 350.
I also showed them Write-N-Cite, which was a huge hit. Prof Uffelman, an Endnote user, is interested in importing his library into RefWorks. The students all told him that he should have me show this to much lower level chemistry classes as well.
I plan to create a tutorial for Scifinder/Refworks this summer, since it's a little more complicated, as well as a tutorial for shared accounts. Refworks is really taking off!
