REFWORKS@LEHIGH GOES MOBILE!

Your library on RefWorks@Lehigh can now be viewed on your mobile device. With the launch of RefMobile, a "lite" version of RefWorks is accessible from a mobile device such as a iPhone, iTouch or Blackberry. You can add to your collections of citations while at a lecture, during a meeting with your advisor, while attending a conference, or from anywhere you carry your mobile device.
Click here for ten reasons to use RefMobile.

Here's an example of using RefMobile: While autism expert Dr. Geraldine Dawson was lecturing at Lehigh, she mentioned a study using an analysis of home movies to identify the onset of childhood disintegrative disorders. Using the "SmartAdd" feature, a Lehigh librarian was able to retrieve and add a citation and abstract from PubMed for that study to a RefWorks@Lehigh library while continuing to listen to the lecture.  In addition to using the SmartAdd feature to build your library on the fly, you can view/manage folders and add notes.
