Citing Blogs with Refworks (RSS4Lib)

Citing Blogs with Refworks

The January 2006 web version of RefWorks has a new feature for citing weblog entries. Under the site's Search menu is a new tool for RSS feeds. Using this tool, you give it an RSS feed and then select which items in that feed you want to build citations for. It gives you the author, title, permanent URL, full text abstract from the RSS feed, along with fields for other information important for citing something as ephemeral as some blog posts can be (such as date accessed). Citations of weblogs can now be handled by RefWorks just like any other source.
