Using Write-N-Cite From Off-Campus

The first time you use Write-N-Cite from off-campus you must load the WNC Proxy Configuration Utility (after logging in to Refworks, use the Tools -> Write-N-Cite tab for download). After running the utility, when you launch Write-N-Cite you will be directed to the organization's proxy server to login rather than going directly to RefWorks.
