Reference Manager Support

Description of Service

An off-the-shelf bibliographic application called Reference Manager is used as a database to store the publications. Reference Manager is also generally available for any member of UCL who wishes to manage their own references.

Eligibility for Use

Reference Manager is available on IS's Windows Terminal Service (WTS) and may also be purchased from the Procurement Office for a nominal cost to cover media and administration.

Charges

WTS users will not be charged for using Reference Manager on this platform. Anyone else will need to purchase copies if they want to run it on their own systems (see Eligibility for Use).

Registration & Ordering Method

Departments (or their co-ordinators) are responsible for making sure they have access to Reference Manager either via WTS or their own systems.

Service Availability

Anyone using WTS will be able to use Reference Manager all day, 365 days a year but subject to overnight backups, scheduled and unscheduled outages which affect WTS.
