RefWorks

What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic reference and citation manager. Use it to store and organize your references. There is no limit to the number of references you can store in RefWorks. You may register for a RefWorks account at: http://www.refworks.com/refworks/.

RefWorks works with word-processors to create citations in your papers as well as the bibliography in the styles you need (APA, MLA, CBE, etc.).

Your RefWorks account must be created on campus at the University of Georgia. You will receive an email confirmation with a Subscriber Group Code. Use this code together with your login and password to access your account from off campus. You may also find the Group Code within the myUGA (my.uga.edu) portal in the MyLibrary section.
