Group Code

In order to access RefWorks off campus, you will be asked to enter a group code. If you misplace the information for HNU's Group Code, you can contact the library's circulation desk at (510) 436-1332 for the group code during our hours of operation or email us at hnulibrary@hnu.edu.

You will also need the group code if you're using RefWorks on your mobile device such as a smart phone or iPad. Go to www.refworks.com/mobile on your mobile web browser to have your RefWorks on the go.

What is RefWorks?

RefWorks is a web-based bibliography and database manager for your references. When you're researching for articles in databases, you can simply keep track of your articles you want to use by importing the citation information into your RefWorks account. Your saved references will serve as its own database for when you write your paper. Use the Write-N-Cite program to insert citations into your paper and to create a bibliography list in ALA, MLA, Chicago or other formats. This time saving tool will organize your references and shed the hassle of having to write your bibliography list in the end.
