RefWorks launches new interface

RefWorks, the web-based reference management tool, has released a new streamlined interface, RefWorks 2.0. When you login to your RefWorks account, you will see the “classic” interface and in the upper right corner a RefWorks 2.0 link will be visible. From 2.0, there is a link back to RefWorks Classic. Switching back and forth does not affect any data.

In addition to the improved 2.0 interface, you will find:

• a cleaner, more intuitive design
• tabbed functions
• improved menu navigation
• quick access toolbar

The new interface works fine with Write-N-Cite, RefShare, and RefGrab-It, though for now the look of these tools will remain the same.
Later this year RefWorks Classic will be replaced with RefWorks 2.0. RefWorks Classic will be available at least through the summer and probably through the rest of the year and for now you can continue to use it, or switch to the new interface.
