There are several new features for RefWorks: First, Write-N-Cite III (the tool that allows RefWorks and MS Word to interact) is now generally available (previously it was in beta). Key things you should know about Write-N-Cite III (WNC III) include: Write-N-Cite III is required for users running Vista and/or Word 2007 and is optional for other users Single-document formatting is now available (instead of the unformatted and final formatted versions that Write- N-Cite II (WNC II) created) Faster formatting is available, especially of large documents Write-N-Cite III now has offline capabilities (you can download a copy of your database and then insert citations even when there is no Internet access) Note: Documents created with WNC II (the previous version) need to be converted before they can be used with WNC III. For more information on using Write-N-Cite III, please contact us or look at the instructions at http://www.refworks.com/ Refworks/help/Refworks.htm#Using_Write-N- Cite_for_Windows_III.htm Second, Write-N-Cite 2.5 for Mac is now available. This update allows WNC to work with the Leopard operating system and Word 2008. No other major features were added. Finally, you are now able to attach documents (Word files, PDFs, JPEGs, etc.) to a RefWorks record! This is useful if you want to keep a copy of the article with the record on the RefWorks server. There is a 100mb upload limit (this should cover at least 100-200 articles in most cases). The RefWorks administrators can increase this limit on a case-bycase basis. More information can be found in the RefWorks FAQ at http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/find/refworks/#9. Candidate for Dean for Education Lynn A. Johnson, Ph.D. Monday, June 9, 2008 See Page 3 for Details
