Logging Into RefWorks

In order to access RefWorks, log in on the screen to the right.

How to Access Melvyl

Now that you are logged in to RefWorks, you are ready to import references from Melvyl.

To access Melvyl:

• Open the Library's web page, by clicking here: http://library.ucmerced.edu/.

How to Search in Melvyl

• Type (or copy and paste) "20th century fashion" into the search box, and click Search.

• Click on the name of one of the books and resources in the list.

How to Export References

• Click on Cite/Export along the top of the page. A Cite/Export box will appear (see below).
• In the box, click on Export to RefWorks, under Export a Citation.

(Note: if the Cite/Export box is hidden under the tutorial tab, try closing the Cite/Export box and making your font smaller by clicking Command-. Then click on the Cite/Export box again.

This should not be an issue outside the tutorial.)

Viewing References in RefWorks

RefWorks will open a new tab in your browser. If you don't see it, check the original tab where you opened RefWorks.
