      2. Select those items you want to move into a particular folder.
      3. On the Put in Folder drop-down menu, select the appropriate folder.
      4. Select OK to confirm.

      Adding Descriptors (or subject headings) to References:

      1. Go to the folder you want to work with.
      2. Select Add Descriptor.
      3. Using the drop-down menu Add to Which References, select All in List or as many as is appropriate.

      Searching RefWorks with the Lookup Function: You can search for your references in RefWorks by author name, descriptor (or subject) heading or by periodical title.

      1. Select Lookup by Periodical.
      2. Browse through the list of periodical titles in your results list.
      3. Select the periodical title(s) that you are interested in.
