 What is Bibliographic Software?

Bibliographic software allows you to build a personal database of references, to insert citations as you write a Word document, and to create a bibliography or reference list quickly and easily.

 What is Available?

The University of Surrey has site licences for three bibliographic software packages.

Endnote (including EndNote Web - log in to Web of Knowledge and follow the link to My EndNote Web.)
Reference Manager
RefWorks (click on the arrow next to My Institution's Credentials (Shibboleth) and select University of Surrey from the drop down list.) 

EndNote and Reference Manager are installed on all Austin Pearce and Library computers. 

RefWorks is a web-based product, does not require you to obtain software and can be accessed remotely. 

RefWorks will be accessible using Institutional Login from 3 December 2012. If you already have an account, you will need to migrate it.

 Where May I Install the Software?

The licences allow you to install the software on any computer or laptop owned by the University of Surrey. Check with your Faculty IT Manager before doing so.

 How Do I Obtain the Software?

Contact the User Support Desk in the Austin Pearce building. You will be asked to complete a form confirming that you will abide by the site licence agreement and only use the software on a computer or laptop owned by the University of Surrey.

 What Do I Do If I Want to Purchase My Own Copy ?

To use the software on a computer or laptop not owned by the University of Surrey you need to purchase a personal licence. Go to Adept Scientific, and login with your University username and password to buy it at a reduced price.
