VCU Libraries changing remote access to RefWorks

Starting the week of July 21, the preferred way of accessing RefWorks will be via any of the RefWorks links on VCU Libraries Web pages. These links all have the EZProxy authentication address embedded and will prompt for eID and password. Users may bookmark http://proxy.library.vcu.edu/login?url=http://www.refworks.com/refworks for easy access.

The Group Code that many users have been using for remote access and for Write-N-Cite will be changed next week. The new Group Code will be visible to VCU users who first login using their eID/password combination. The link to the Group Code will be located on the VCU Libraries RefWorks home page.

RefWorks account holders who are no longer affiliated with VCU may obtain the Group Code by submitting a Logon Problem Report. The Group Code will be sent via email along with instructions for saving the references and a deadline for making this change. RefWorks accounts not associated with the new Group Code will be deleted as soon as the deadline has passed.
