What is RefWorks?

• A web-based bibliographic citation manager
• Use it to organize research--both personal and in collaboration with others, create personal databases, and generate bibliographies in APA, MLA, Turabian, and hundreds of other styles.
• Available to all CBU faculty, staff, and students. Students have life-long access, so you can continue to use it as alumni.

First Step: Register

Create a RefWorks account:

1. Connect to RefWorks (http://ezproxy.cbu.edu:9000/login?url=http://www.refworks.com/Refworks/). If you get a message that EZproxy is an unsecure server, add it as an exception.
2. Click "Sign up for an individual account."
3. Fill in the form. Create a username and password (does not have to match your CBU email login).
4. Submit form. You'll receive a confirmation email with your username and password as well as the Group Code, which you'll use to access RefWorks from off-campus.

Second Step: Create a Database

• Once registered, access your RefWorks account through any Internet connection, on or off-campus.
• However, until you've loaded references (created a database), you can't make RefWorks do anything for you.

Get Help:

• For personal help, make an appointment with Kay Cunningham (email: kay.cunningham@cbu.edu).
• Webinars from RefWorks-COS
• See the Import & Export Tips page for customized instructions on using RefWorks with CBU's online resources.
