Logging Into RefWorks From Off-Campus

If you use RefWorks from off-campus, you will be prompted for your CNET ID. This will allow you to connect to the program via the campus proxy server.

If you are a hospital employee who does not have a CNET ID, you can connect to RefWorks by visiting www.refworks.com and selecting "Login". You will need to enter the University of Chicago's RefWorks Group Code to access your RefWorks account.

Direct Export and the Proxy Server

Some of the Library's databases, including those that use the FirstSearch (such as WorldCat) or ProQuest (such as ABI Inform or ProQuest Newsstand) interfaces, do not recognize the proxy server when you are exporting records into RefWorks. As a result, you may be prompted to enter the University's RefWorks Group Code.

The Library is investigating whether we can resolve this issue. Should you have any problems with direct export off-campus, please contact the Library.
