RefWorks at Quinnipiac University
RefWorks is a web-based application that allows you to create and manage personal bibliographic databases by importing references from text files or online databases nation-wide.  You can then use these references in writing papers; RefWorks will format the citations you insert into a paper and automatically generate a bibliography for that paper.  You can specify formatting according to most major style guides.  For MS Word users, RefWorks provides "WriteNCite," a plug-in feature for fast citation creation.

RefWorks is similar to EndNote and ProCite, but whereas these are applications installed on personal computers, RefWorks is web-based.  Once you are recognized by RefWorks as a Quinnipiac University community member by accessing RefWorks from the University network, RefWorks allows you to create a personal account you can then use from any internet-connected location.

If you are logged into the Quinnipiac University network, either on campus or via VPN, you can use this link to create a RefWorks account.  After your account is created, you no longer need to be logged into the network to use it; you need only have an internet connection.
