ALUMNI ACCESS?
When you graduate from UVa, you will continue to be able to access your RefWorks account as long as UVa continues its subscription. However, you won't be able to access the UVa databases such as PsycINFO or, Education Research Complete to update your RefWorks folders. Of course, if you get a job with a university (UVa or other university worldwide), school, or business, you would have access to the databases that organization licenses. Individuals may also subscribe to RefWorks.

A special thanks to the student who suggested we include this information in our newsletter. The student submitted the following comment on an anonymous survey sent to participants in a library workshop. “I think that seminars on RefWorks tailored specifically for dissertation preparation would help all doctoral students. I wish I had started this earlier! Also, when I took the seminars, access to our RefWorks account would "expire" when we graduated. This made me apprehensive about using it. Now that is not the case, and many students may not know this.”
