To improve ease of use starting September 1, 2009, access to RefWorks is now through a proxy server. Connect to RefWorks from the A-Z database list (http://www.library.unlv.edu/search/databases/index.html#R) and login with the RebelCard Barcode and PIN, instead of using a group code.
The first time you use Write-N-Cite you will perform a one-time set up to your account. Please follow the directions below.
Using Write-N-Cite From Off-Campus
The first time you use Write-N-Cite from off-campus you must load the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility. After running the utility, when you launch Write-N-Cite you will be directed to the organization's proxy server to login rather than going directly to RefWorks.
