RefWorks 2.0 is here!  RefWorks has had a serious makeover.  The new interface has the same features, but has been completely redesigned incorporating 2.0 capabilities and user-friendliness to enhance functionality.  The traditional or “Classic” version will continue to run for the remainder of 2011.   RefWorks 2.0 is compatible with Write N Cite, RefShare and RefGrab-It, although these modules have not yet migrated to the new interface.

The default log-in page is now RefWorks 2.0. Use the same username and password to log into your account. If your last session was in Classic, that is the "look" you will have but if you have already switched to RefWorks 2.0, it will be the opening interface.  Once you are logged in, it is easy to switch platforms. Look for the link above the Lawrence Tech banner on the opening page.  All of the citations and folders in your account will automatically be available in RefWorks 2.0.  Once you have switched to the new interface, it will remain your default unless you change it back to “Classic”.  The option to move back and forth between the two interfaces will be available until December 2011. All new accounts will open in RefWorks 2.0.
