Refworks 2.0
RefWorks has moved to a new interface, RefWorks 2.0. It became available to all UNC Chapel Hill users on August 2, 2011.
To get familiar with the new interface:
• RefWorks 2.0 Preview Tutorial (for users already familiar with RefWorks)
• RefWorks 2.0 Fundamentals Tutorial (for new, or less familiar users)
• RefWorks 2.0 At A Glance
The new interface has an upgraded design that allows for easier navigation, while preserving the functions you are accustomed to using. The homepage will be divided into three tabs: References, Folders, and Sharing. On the right-side you will find a Quick Access toolbar linking you to special features and help resources. Existing accounts and data will be accessible in the new interface.
You will continue to have access to the old interface by clicking on the “RefWorks Classic” link at the top of the screen after logging in. Availability of RefWorks Classic is anticipated to end sometime this year. The RefGrab-It and Write-N-Cite tools will look the same for now.
