Off The Shelf

By now I hope you have created a RefWorks account and have begun using it to organize your research citations.

One advanced tool offered by RefWorks is called Write-N-Cite. Write-N-Cite is a plug-in for Word on both PC and Mac platforms. You can download Write-N-Cite from within your RefWorks account.

The trick currently to using Write-N-Cite is that WNC via Word will not recognize that you wish to login to your Capella RefWorks account. You have two options:

1. Use the Group Code. After clicking your Write-N-Cite toolbar button in Word, you will see a RefWorks login screen. First type the Group Code for Capella (found on RefWorks Information Page) and click “Go to Login.” Then use your normal Capella RefWorks log-in name and password.

2. Proxy Configuration: You can configure Write-N-Cite to know you are a Capella person. Find the RefWorks folder on your Programs list and click on WNC Proxy Configuration Utility. Enter this code:

http://library.capella.edu/login?url=https://www.refworks.com.library.capella.edu:2050/Refworks/?WNC=true

Which is best? With the Group Code option you have one less step. With the Proxy Configuration option you have one less “code” to remember.
