Write-N-Cite 4.0

RefWorks has fixed the problems associated with the early introduction of WnC 4.0,  most notably the synchroniztion problem.    The synchronizaton between your RefWorks database and your Word document , which once took up to 10 minutes, rarely takes more than a few seconds.  WnC 4.0 is now both robust and FAST.  (5/16/2013)

RefShare problems update

RefShare (RefWorks sharing utility) continues to experience problems with the "export" function from RefShare sites.  Presently, the only way to export references from RefShare is via the "All in List" option.   RefWorks is presently in the process of revamping the RefShare utility. (5/16/2013)

RefShare problems

For the past 2 or 3 weeks there has been a problem with the "export" function from RefShare sites.  It has not been possible to export either "selected" or a "page" of references.  However, it is possible to select "All in List" and to export these references. (10/9/2012)

 Write-N-Cite 4.0

The new version of WnC works beautifully for many RefWorks users.  Others have had frustrating problems.  If you fall into the latter category see Write-N-Cite 4.0  -- Yea or Nay?  (9/21/2012)

RefWorks Login Problems

RefWorks has been experiencing IP authentication problems this morning because of a hardware upgrade late Thursday night.  Consequently, both on-campus and off-campus logins have been inoperable.  The problem has been fixed, and now you should be able to login into RefWorks and its auxiliary programs Write-N-Cite and RefShare.  However, all RefWorks users will need to clear their internet browser cache of cookies and restart their browsers before attempting to log back in again.

For additional information about clearing you browser’s cache and fixing connection problems please see the RefWorks Connection Problems??? help page. Also, all off-campus uses must access RefWorks via either VPN or the UC Libraries proxy server. (9/21/2012)

Write-N-Cite 4.0

Write-N-Cite version 4 for Windows was released in June, 2012.  Though RefWorks has resolved significant installation issues,  WnC version 4 continues to have synchronization issues that result in unacceptable delays in a classroom setting.   Until this problem is resolved the RefWorks workshops offered on the west campus will continue to use version 3 of WnC.
