When you are searching within your RefWorks account, you can now include in your search any file attachments (.pdf, .txt and file names) you may have added to your references.
In the Search RefWorks box, simply click on the check box next to Attachments after you enter your search term or, if using Advanced Search, select Attachments from the drop-down menu as one of the fields to search.
Today we were asked about the memory space for attachments in RefWorks. At the moment, there is no limit to the number of files you can attach but the overall storage limit per user is 200 MB. The maximum size of any individual attachment is 20 MB.
An earlier post in this blog tells you how you can track the disk space you have used.
If you are using the new attachment feature, you may be interested to know that you can keep track of how much memory space you have left.
Just click on Help and About this database and you will be shown total space used and how much is left.
We have good news for those of you wishing to attach a file to a reference in your RefWorks database. RefWorks have introduced an attachment feature which allows you to attach files in a few easy steps:
1. Locate the relevant reference and click on Edit
2. Click on Browse to locate the attachment you wish to add
3. Click Add Attachment to upload your file
Its that simple!
