Never used RefWorks before?

If you have a university email address, you can register for an account on or off campus. This includes all UCT staff, students and alumni.  If you have a non-university email address you should first contact your subject librarian for an access code.  (Please add your student or staff email address to the request.) When on campus, you can sign up immediately. When you are off campus, you will be expected to enter the access code.
