Due to the current budget cuts the UCI Libraries will not renew its subscription to RefWorks. The subscription will end December 31, 2009.  We apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation creates. 

The Library will continue to support Endnote.

Currently the Libraries provide access to one licensed copy of EndNote version X2 in the Multimedia Resources Center (MRC), Interactive Learning Center (ILC), and in the Grunigen Medical Library at the UCI Medical Center. Due to licensing restrictions, Endnote X2 is only available to UC Irvine students, faculty, and staff. For off campus use of EndNote, students, faculty and staff should buy a copy of the EndNote software at the UC Irvine Computer Store. There is no remote access to the Libraries' copies.
