RefShare is a new tool for the global dissemination and publication of RefWorks databases via the Internet.

RefShare allows Jefferson to make available a central, customizable Web page that allows you to post your RefWorks databases or folders. The databases are easily accessible from the site and you can also easily share access to this information with anyone via e-mail.
