Every JHU student has a free RefWorks account. RefWorks is a tool that helps you keep track of the citations you discover by allowing you to seamlessly export citations from databases, into your RefWorks account.
It is important that you explore this tool before you start searching for citations, because it will save time in creating your reference list and organizing your sources.

Getting Started in RefWorks
RefWorks allows you to import references from databases, or manually enter your own references. You can organize your references into different folders, allowing you to keep track of your resources for different classes, projects, or topics. Watch the RefWorks videos for quick overviews, and keep an eye on the Tuesday announcements for RefWorks workshops offered every semester.
