Legacy:
There is an older version, called Legacy RefWorks, which is available for those still using it.
- Legacy can be found via a personal bookmark or a Google search for "Legacy RefWorks", but not on FindIt.
- Legacy Users: see also this Guide on transferring references from Legacy to New RefWorks
- DO NOT attempt to work on the same document using both versions of RefWorks. If you have started a document and are using the older, Legacy RefWorks, only switch versions after you have finished and submitted your document
