What is RefWorks?
RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management and formatting program. Refworks is freely available to all current UNC students, faculty, and staff.

What can I do with RefWorks?

• Create a personal database online
• Import references automatically from many library article databases
• Organize references
• Format bibliographies and manuscripts

How do I create a RefWorks account?
You can create an account from on or off campus.

How do I access my account from off-campus?
When you are away from campus, RefWorks needs to determine which Univeristy you are affiliated with in order to properly log you in. There are two ways to do this:

• Library Proxy Server (for Windows):
  • Simply access RefWorks from links on our library web pages. Our links will automatically work with the proxy server.
  • Alternatively, you can create a bookmark or shortcut to the following address:
    http://libproxy.lib.unc.edu/login?url=https://www.refworks.com/Refworks/

  -- OR --

• Group Code:
  You can get UNC's current RefWorks Group Code by following this link. Access to the Group Code is limited to current UNC-Chapel Hill affiliates. Then, you can visit refworks.com to login directly, enter the Group Code when prompted, and then login to your RefWorks account.
