Want a quick and easy way to share references or bibliographies with colleagues or students? RefWorks users have access to RefShare, a cool tool that provides you with a quick and easy way to share references with colleagues and students. You can share your whole database or just specific folders.

Are you using this feature on your campus? We are trying here at Eastern Washington University but it does not seem as easy as the directions.

Nadean,
We do use this feature here at UCSF but it's taken a while to get people interested in RefShare. I must admit that I don't know exactly what the obstacles are.
I'm going to use your post as an excuse to put up more information on RefShare.
Let me know if you have more specific questions.
