As a student/faculty of the U of Illinois, I have access to RefWorks through the Librarys subscription. How can I keep or migrate my data when I graduate or leave?
A. You can convert your University account to an individual subscription or if you have access to a new Organizational RefWorks subscription, you can move your account. To do this, select Tools, Backup/Restore and make a backup of your database. You will be prompted to save a .zip or .rwb file to your computer. In your new account, select Tools, Backup/Restore and use the restore option to add the .zip or .rwb file to your new account. You can also export your reference data in several formats using one of RefWorks Export options. Other options: You can purchase an individual, annual subscription to RefWorks. Or, if you prefer, you can export your entire database in a delimited format to use in some other type of database program such as EndNote, ProCite, or Reference Manager.
