RefWorks User Name Changes
Just a quick update, some of our RefWorks users ?ámay receive an email from RefWorks-COS Support Services [support@refworks-cos.com]?árequesting them to update their RefWorks username this week. (I did!)
This is legitimate – RefWorks is moving everyone to unique user names in order to simplify the login process. They suggest using your email as a new username, but that is not required. So if you’re like me, and use something like librarygrrrl42* as a username, well, go right ahead.
Any questions or issues about RefWorks please call Molly Knapp at 568-6100 or email mknapp@lsuhsc.edu
Full text of RefWorks email follows.
*not actual username

Dear RefWorks User,
We are asking RefWorks users – like you – who have the same login name as a RefWorks user at a different institution to select a new login name.
This change will enable us to streamline access for you and others by eliminating Group Codes during the log in process.
Changing your login name takes only a few seconds:
Log in to RefWorks
Click on the “Update Profile Link” in the upper right corner?á Choose a new log-in name (we recommend using your email address)
Thanks for your help!
