RefWorks logo


The University of Alabama now has a RefWorks site license for faculty, students, and staff.  RefWorks is a web based tool designed to help researchers manage and share information and generate citations and bibliographies. For users of programs like EndNote, RefWorks will be familiar, but with the advantages that it is accessible (24/7) from anywhere with no software to install.  EndNote users may transfer existing data into the RefWorks database. 

If you are a first time RefWorks user, choose the "Sign up for an Individual Account" link.
