Hello Laura,

Our institution subscribes to the COS Funding Opportunities and COS Expertise.  It is the primary tool that our faculty use to search for funding opportunities and for the most part, I would say that it has helped.  I do sometimes get complaints from faculty that  in spite of using the various filters, they get results that are not applicable.  But I think the databases are fairly easy to navigate and use.  I would be interested in knowing about other such databases though from the Listserv that have very accurate searching results and ease of use.

Thank you.

Good Afternoon,

Just out of curiosity, how many of the institutions here subscribe to RefWorks? http://www.refworks.com/ Has it helped on at your institution? How do you primarily use it?

Thank you,
Laura
