For seven years DU students, faculty, and staff have been able to manage bibliographic citations using RefWorks. By clicking the RefWorks 2.0 link at the top of your RefWorks page, you can switch over to the new interface.

RefWorks 2.0 provides a more modern facelift, with navigation facets on the right. All features from Classic RefWorks have been integrated into the new look, with additional functionality available. Key functions are easily available through buttons and navigation toolbars. If you want further information, you can see a slide show with audio here.

You can switch back to the “RefWorks Classic” by clicking the link at the top of the page. The Classic interface will be supported by RefWorks through 2011. Beginning in 2012 all users will use the 2.0 interface.

Virtual browsing allows you to see the collection in call number order, whether the item is checked out or available, whether it is a print book or e-book or DVD, and whether it is located in the regular collections or in Special Collections.

The library catalog provides two methods for browsing by call number, both available in the Classic Catalog, which is accessible via Summon@DU or the default keyword search under “Books & More.”
