School of Nursing: RefWorks

A guide to essential Miner resources you will need while taking classes at the School of Nursing at the University of Rochester

Getting Started with *New* RefWorks

Miner Library, in partnership with the UR River Campus Libraries and Information Technology Services, provides a University-wide subscription to RefWorks. You can create your account with RefWorks here to get started. Because RefWorks is web-based, it has unique features:

  • Each user creates an individual RefWorks account/personal database to protect data integrity.
  • You can access your personal database from any computer connected to the Internet either on campus or off-site.
  • RefWorks is available at no charge for all UR users. You do not need to purchase any software.
  • RefWorks is never out of date. Upgrades are automatic, so you always have access to the most recent version.
  • RefWorks is compatible with both PCs and Macs.
  • The RefShare module allows you to share references with both UR and non-UR collaborators.

You need to add RefWorks RCM to Microsoft Word. Please view the "Writing with RefWorks" video for more information.

Request permission to access the RCM add-on in Word here!
