Once that program is installed, you may proceed with the?áinstillation?áprocess.
If you would like more information about RefWorks and Write-n-Cite please email the reference librarians, reference@lsuhsc.edu. ?áKeep an eye out for upcoming Introduction to RefWorks classes.

This weekend, ProQuest has scheduled a Maintenance Window that will affect all RefWorks services for a few hours.
The Maintenance Window is scheduled to start at 11pm CST, ?áSaturday, May 5th.
The work should take about 5 hours, ending at ?á4:00 AM CST, Sunday, May 6th.
While this work takes place, RefWorks services including RefMobile, RefAware, and Write-N-Cite will be unavailable.?á In their place, we will post a message that will be updated with any changes to the Maintenance Window schedule.?á There will be a short period of up to one hour when even this message will not be available.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
Just a quick update, some of our RefWorks users ?ámay receive an email from RefWorks-COS Support Services [support@refworks-cos.com]?árequesting them to update their RefWorks username this week. (I did!)
This is legitimate – RefWorks is moving everyone to unique user names in order to simplify the login process. They suggest using your email as a new username, but that is not required. So if you’re like me, and use something like librarygrrrl42* as a username, well, go right ahead.
Any questions or issues about RefWorks please call Molly Knapp at 568-6100 or email mknapp@lsuhsc.edu

Dear RefWorks User,
We are asking RefWorks users – like you – who have the same login name as a RefWorks user at a different institution to select a new login name.
This change will enable us to streamline access for you and others by eliminating Group Codes during the log in process.
Changing your login name takes only a few seconds:
Log in to RefWorks
Click on the “Update Profile Link” in the upper right corner?á Choose a new log-in name (we recommend using your email address)
RefWorks, our free Web-based bibliography and database manager which can format a paper and bibliography for you, has some improvements scheduled for the near future:
December 31st, 2011: “Classic” interface goes away. (This only matters if you are an old-school power user.)
January 2012: Group Code no longer needed to login to RefWorks off campus. (It will, however, still be needed to create a RefWorks account off campus.) FAQ
Spring 2012: Updated version of Write-n-Cite will be available.
The new version of Write-N-Cite will run on Word for Windows 2007 & 2010 as well as Word for Mac 2008 & 2011. You’ll get the same features on either platform, and sharing documents between computers is as easy as opening a file. More.
For questions or training contact Molly Knapp. RefWorks classes will resume in January.
