What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is a tool that allows you to create a personal database to organize and manage your bibliographical references. You can import and store citations from online databases and then easily create bibliographies to use in your essays and papers.

Create in-text citations with a small download:
Download “Write-N-Cite” which enables you to insert parenthetical references into your document as needed. Once the document is complete this tool will automatically generate a bibliography of all the sources cited within the document. If you plan to use Write-N-Cite off-site you will need to load the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility.
|
Group Code:
The groupcode is an alphanumeric code that allows access to RefWorks from off-campus. However, you should never need to use the groupcode when you are accessing RefWorks via databases Trent subscribes to or from the link on the library's homepage. If you do need the Group Code, click here.

Sharing Folders :
Refworks now includes RefShare, a feature used to create reading lists for students or to share citations with colleagues. To use it, put the citations you want to share in a folder and select "Share Folder" under "Folders". RefWorks provides a link to the folder, which you can send by email or add to a course in myLearningSystem. You decide what options are available to users, but no one else can edit your folder. Everyone who has the link can view the folder, even if they don't have a RefWorks account. A  button is provided, so that users associated with Trent can access the item online.
See Information Services for help with this feature.
