What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management service. RefWorks allows users to create personal citation databases by importing references from text files or online databases. RefWorks features also facilitate manuscript preparation, allowing for automatic formatting of the paper and the bibliography.

Visit the RefWork’s Channel on YouTube

When you have a references stored in RefWorks, you can use La Salle’s Article Locator link to access them.

RefWorks is similar in function to software products such as EndNote, Reference Manager, and ProCite. It differs in that personal databases are stored on the RefWorks server and can be accessed through the Connelly Library institutional account from wherever the user happens to be.
When off-campus, you first login as you would any library database.

GROUP CODE INFORMATION below!!!!

• PLEASE NOTE – WHEN OFF-CAMPUS, LOGIN BEFORE YOU START IMPORTING REFERENCES FROM A DATABASE. IF YOU TRY TO IMPORT WITHOUT FIRST OPENING REFWORKS, YOU WILL BE ASKED FOR A GROUP CODE. THE GROUP CODE WAS SENT TO YOU WHEN YOU CREATED YOUR ACCOUNT. HOWEVER IF YOU LOGIN FIRST, YOU WILL NOT NEED THE GROUP CODE!!When off-campus, you will receive an SSL certificate form which you must agree to. La Salle has signed this certificate and it will not harm your computer. You will only need to ok this certificate once.

Then you use the username and password you create when you sign up for your RefWorks account.

In addition, there is no charge for use to La Salle University current faculty, staff and students.
