I decided to play around with RefWorks since I am not currently using a bibliographic manager and I get the sense that I need to choose one soon.
I do like the organizational capabilities. It was easy to set up different folders and move things around.
RefWorks is easy to use with the OSU libray catalog. However, I found some articles where the option to export the citation to RefWorks was not an option. For example, a citation from ISI Web of Knowledge only had the options for Endnote, RefMan, and ProCite. It was possible to download the whole article, so I'm not quite sure why RefWorks wasn't an option in this instance. Maybe it's just because I really don't know what I'm doing yet!
It took me a little while to figure out how to attach files to a reference, but it does have that capability.
Overall, it seems like a pretty good tool, but after Mitsu's praise of EndNote, I may be leaning in that direction.
