RefWorks...why have I not used you in the past?

Well we are 3 classes into this semester and I have to say I am feeling pretty good about completing our second assignment! Now if I can figure out the next 7 I will be in good shape:) I have heard of RefWorks but I sure wish that I known how simple it was to use for some of my other classes. I think those of you who are just starting out in the program are probably feeling overwhelmed (I am and this is my third semester!) but knowing these reference sites will be ideal for writing and citing papers. I have never been very good at citing and RefWorks just solved that problem. I have to admit it took me a little bit to get the hang of searching and exporting on Google Scholar but I thought that Scopus was very easy to navigate. Although I did find that Google Scholar was also a little slow (I don't think it was my computer but it may have been) and I didn't like that I had to select each article one by one in order to export. Unless of course I am just missing something and there is a simple way to select multiple sources at the same time. I would love to know so if I did just miss this please comment and let me know how! Here's hoping that the next assignments will be easy to figure out and not overwhelming. Good luck classmates and again feel free to post any advice you may have for me:)
