Refworks and single sign-on

Athens access to Refworks will shortly be removed, allowing users to log-in with a Bath Spa username/password.

However when you log-in to the service with your new username and password for the first time, your references will not be migrated across. To make sure this happens, you will have to do it manually:

Refworks

Bath Spa have bought a three year licence for Refworks, an online research management, writing and collaboration tool. Refworks allows students and staff to build a collection of references for any writing based projects or assignments, which can be exported at any point into a bibliography.

Refworks also has some superb features including:

• Direct bibliographic importing from many of our electronic databases at Bath Spa
• Library catalogue integration, allowing our books to be instantly imported into your bibliographies
• RefGrab-It: Captures bibliographic information from web pages, allowing you the option to import data directly into your RefWorks account
• Write-N-Cite: a piece of software which allows you to instantly insert your references directly into your document as you are writing it, in almost any format you choose. The software also automatically creates a bibliography at the end of your document

Refworks can be accessed by visiting their website, www.refworks.com, clicking on ‘Login’, before choosing Athens as your method for logging in. If you do not have an Athens account, please visit either of the libraries at Newton Park or Sion Hill.
