Santa Barbara, CA - April 28, 2004 — ABC-CLIO announced today that it now links its abstracting and indexing databases, Historical Abstracts and America: History and Life, with RefWorks, the new Web-based bibliographic management tool.
RefWorks allows users to create a personal, searchable database of references accessible from any computer with an Internet connection.

In addition, references saved in RefWorks can be imported into papers and automatically formatted in hundreds of bibliographic styles in seconds.
"A collaborative partnership like this with RefWorks allows us to provide important benefits to our users," said Vicky Speck, Serials Editorial Director at ABC-CLIO. "We’re always looking to incorporate valuable resources like RefWorks in our databases and to make them accessible to history researchers."
