RefWorks Login Changes September 1

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.

Windows Users (Vista, Word 2007)
From the Start Menu select Programs and RefWorks
Select the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility and right-mouse click on it (do not double click it) and click on "Run As"
Select "The following user:" radio button
Select "Administrator" in the User Name drop-down
Click OK.
Go back to the Start Menu and select Programs and RefWorks.
Select the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility and enter http://ezproxy.library.unlv.edu/login?url=https://www.refworks.com/Refworks/?WNC=true
Click OK.
Restart Write‐N‐Cite for this proxy configuration to take effect.
