EN 1101 - College Writing I (Ogunyinka)

Think about the various environmental issues existing today, such as floods, hurricanes, pollutions etc. As you think about these things, I want you to choose a specific moment or event. It should be something you consider very important.

In order to thrive in our communities, we must recognize how our world is changing. 

In your first essay for this class, you are to briefly describe an environmental issue that is important to you.

Krauskopf Memorial Library is switching from Refworks to Mendeley Reference Manager on June 1, 2026.

Please take time to learn about Mendeley Reference Manager and import your RefWorks library into Mendeley before June 1.

RefWorks is a new way to collect, manage, and organize research.  You can read, annotate, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate by sharing collections.

From simple bibliographies to papers formatted with in-text citations or footnotes, RefWorks handles it all. ​To learn more about RefWorks, use our RefWorks research guide.

If you need to move all your references out of RefWorks, you have two options: 1) export all references and 2) export references by folder.

1. Export all references

The method described here will export all of your citations without the folders that are present in your RefWorks account.

1. Log into your RefWorks account
2. On the top menu bar, select References then select Export
3. In the dialog box, specify whether you want to export only selected references, all the references in the page, or all references
4. Select the output option that matches the manager that you are moving to (see box below). Note: A new browser window may open containing your references. You can disregard this window and move to the next step
5. When ready, RefWorks will display a green box that reads Completed at the bottom right of the screen, with a link to download or a link to email the file

2. Export references by folder

When exporting all your citations from RefWorks, you may want to preserve your folder structure. The method described here will export your citations by folder.

1. Log into your RefWorks account
2. Click on the Organize & Share Folders tab in your References list
3. From the listing of folders, click on the folder icon (to the right of the folder name at the end of the row) and select the option to Export
4. Select the output option that matches the manager that you are moving to (see box below). Note: A new browser window may open containing your references. You can disregard this window and move to the next step
5. Repeat these steps for each folder. You may want to rename your export files to their original folder names so you can keep them organized
6. When ready, RefWorks will display a green box that reads Completed on the bottom right of the screen, with a link to download or a link to email the file

Export formats needed by citation manager

If a book or article you want is not available, use Interlibrary Loan (ILL). The Library can order books and articles from other libraries. This process takes few days but is completely free for DelVal students, faculty, and staff.

Before you submit an ILL, check Google Scholar or Summon to see if we have immediate access or if it is freely available online.
