RefWorks is a web-based research manager that allows you to create your own personal database of citations and documents for both academic and personal use. With RefWorks you can:

• Easily export references from electronic databases, the UNT library catalog, text files, websites and more into your account
• Quickly create reference lists for papers and projects in the citation style of your choice
• Store, read and annotate files.

See the Basic RefWorks Handout below and the RefWorks video tutorials to get started with your account.

RefWorks is available for all UNT students, faculty, and staff through the UNT Libraries. Your account will last as long as the library has a contract with RefWorks. That means you will have access to your account after you graduate, retire or, resign from your position at UNT. When you are preparing to leave UNT, remember to take these steps:

1. Enter the Settings in your account
2. Change your email address to one where you can be contacted in the future
3. Change your Role to Alumni (even if you are technically a retiree or former employee)

For screenshots of the steps, visit the ExLibris Knowledge Center. If the library ends its contract with RefWorks in the future, we will notify you by email and you'll have the opportunity to export your references in a format compatible with other reference managers.
