Shared area
Shared Area
What is it?
A central location where you can share a list of references with anyone at the University of Auckland who has a RefWorks account.
Use when:
- You want multiple people from the University of Auckland to be able to access a list of your references, without actually logging into your account.
Good for:
- Academic staff wanting to share a list of references with their students.
- Researchers working independently on similiar projects.
Be aware that...
- Users need a Refworks account to view the references.
- Lists should be removed once you have finished with them so they don't clutter up the Shared area.
