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.

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic software package that enables you to:

* Organize your research
* Create a bibliography in a variety of citation styles, including APA, MLA and Chicago
* Import references from many data sources
* Create bibliographies in different document formats (Word, RTF, HTML, etc.)
* Include citations while you write your paper
* Being web-based means no software to download and update, and you can access your personal account from any computer connected to the internet.

More information is available on our Refworks page, or you can log into Refworks directly.
