Configuration of Write-N-Cite for Off-Site Use

Because Jefferson offers RefWorks off-campus by proxy server, you must enter some information in the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility.

Windows Users:

• From your Start Menu select Programs and RefWorks.
  
• Select the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility.
  
• Cut & paste or enter:
  https://login.proxy1.lib.tju.edu/login?url=https://www.refworks.com/Refworks/?WNC=true
  
• Click OK.
  

Mac Users:

• Activate Write-N-Cite.
  
• Select Preferences from the Write-N-Cite menu.
  
• Select the Proxy option and cut & paste or enter:
  https://login.proxy1.lib.tju.edu/login?url=https://www.refworks.com/Refworks/?WNC=true
  
• Restart Write-N-Cite for this proxy configuration to take effect.
  

Write-N-Cite Launch

After you have installed the Write-N-Cite program, you may open it:

• from the Write-N-Cite icon on your desktop;
  
• by clicking on the Start menu and selecting RefWorks from All Programs; or
  
• for Windows users only, from within MS Word by clicking the toolbar icon or by selecting it from the Tools drop down menu.
  

If you launch the program from the desktop icon or the Start menu, it automatically opens a copy of MS Word for you.

Group Code
