RefWorks importing citations from proQuest

Currently ProQuest does not import directly from the marked list to RefWorks. It should be fixed by June. Here is a short video made by Jing to show you the alternate steps to get your ProQuest citations into RefWorks.

Jing is a free download ( either PC or Mac) that allows you to screen capture images or short ( up to 5 minute) videos. It is great to show others directions.

Additional education statistics web sites:

http://www.whatworks.ed.gov/

The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) collects, screens, and identifies studies of effectiveness of educational interventions (programs, products, practices, and policies).The WWC regularly updates the WWC Technical Standards and their application to take account of new considerations brought forth by experts and users. Such changes may result in re-appraisals of studies and/or interventions previously reviewed and rated. The current WWC Standards offer guidance for those planning or carrying out studies, not only in the design considerations but the analysis and reporting stages as well. The WWC Standards, however, may not pertain to every situation, context, or purpose of a study and will evolve.
