RefWorks: Citation Bibliography Builder and Research Cloud

RefWorks – Web-based bibliography and database manager that allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from text files or online databases and other various sources. You can use these references in writing papers and automatically format the paper and the bibliography in seconds.

  • RefWorks (ProQuest): on campus and off campus access available. First time users should sign up for a personal account and login with the personal account to use the citation tool.
  • RefWorks (Legacy):  For users with existing accounts only. Off campus access to RefWorks (Legacy)  Prairie View Group code is: RWPrairieViewU

Note: This version of RefWorks will be phased out, so you may want to move your account to the New RefWorks. Using both old and New RefWorks within one document in Write-n-Cite can cause problems, so finish your projects before making the switch.
