RefWorks is a simple to use online citation manager, that captures, organizes, stores, shares, cites and manipulates information generated by multiple sources.
RefWorks 2.0 is a new, user-friendly interface that functions the same way as the current iteration (now branded as "RefWorks Classic").
When you log into your RefWorks account, you'll notice that a new RefWorks 2.0 button/link has been added to the main toolbar:
If you currently have a RefWorks account, you have the option to upgrade your account to the new 2.0 version by clicking the link in the upper-right corner of your RefWorks page that you see illustrated above.
All RefWorks accounts will default to the 2.0 interface by the start of the fall semester.
RefShare is a feature of RefWorks that is newly available at the University of Minnesota. RefShare allows you to share your RefWorks folders with collaborators both inside and outside of the University.
Select the Share tab from the main RefWorks 2.0 page to start sharing your folders.
