RefWorks
- RefWorks (Legacy)RefWorks is an online bibliography management service that allows you to capture citations, store them, and use them while writing papers. As of June 2022, RefWorks accounts cannot be created in Legacy RefWorks. Patrons may create accounts or transfer citations into the New RefWorks or use another citation manager. Questions? Email ask-citehelp@uic.edu.
Please note: Legacy RefWorks accounts will no longer be available after June 30, 2023. We will provide further information about upgrading to the current version of RefWorks closer to that date.
