We are pleased to announce our latest release. New enhancements will automatically appear when you logon to your personal database. Program enhancements and modifications are outlined below. We hope these new features will provide you with new ways to view and organize your personal data in an easy, more efficient manner. If you have any questions regarding this announcement, please contact us at support@refworks.com.

General Program Enhancements

• My List
• Output Style Preview
• Write-N-Cite for Windows (version 2.0)
• Miscellaneous Modifications
• Administrator Tool Enhancements

My List allows you to add records to a “temporary folder” for use during a RefWorks session.

You can select records from any view, search results or across multiple pages (just add to your list before going to the next page!). You will now see an “add to list” button that places selected references into your list which you can display in the View area of RefWorks.

You can even generate reference lists from My List as well as globally edit and delete records and export records.

Users can also create their own My Lists when accessing RefWorks databases using read-only passwords or RefShare.

Output Style Preview

Available in the Tools area of RefWorks, the Output Style Preview allows you to preview references and in-text citations and/or footnotes (using your own data or our sample data) in any output style. If you choose to use your own data to preview the output style, a sample of each reference type available in your RefWorks database will be displayed. If you use RefWorks' data, all reference types will be displayed.

This is a terrific way to preview what information is used in an output style and how your data will appear in your bibliography and in-text citations or footnotes, without having to generate a reference list or create a paper.

Write-N-Cite for Windows (version 2.0)

Write-N-Cite for Windows (version 2.0) allows you to preview and modify in-text citations or footnotes while using Write-N-Cite. After you insert citation placeholders into your document using Write-N-Cite, you have access to a citation editor that allows you to:

• preview your reference in an output style of your choice
  
  
• modify how your citation will appear in-text or in a footnote by
  • supressing (hiding) entire citation
  • supress (hiding) the author
  • supress (hiding) the year
  • adding text before the in-text citation
  • adding text after the in-text citation
  • o adding a specific page number (overriding the page number in your RefWorks record). This feature only works if the output style you plan to use has page numbers in the in-text citation or footnote.

• When globally editing references, the list of fields is now alphabetical.
  
  
• Adding descriptors is now done using the global edit feature. There is no longer a separate button to add descriptors.
  
  
• Z39.50 searching can now be set to retrieve and display up to 1000 records per search.
