Alumni access

Q.: I'm graduating. Can I keep my account?

A.: Yes!

You can continue to use your RefWorks account. However, you will lose remote access to much of the library's online content: journals, e-books, streaming media, and databases after your affiliation with UW ends.

If you plan to continue your education at another university, follow the help link in RefWorks to email RefWorks Support about transferring your account.
