You definitely need to be able to turn it off and on. The default
should probably be "off".

You also need to be able to set the refworks server name, since most
Canadian universities don't go to the refworks.com server, but use the
Canadian server, refworks.scholarsportal.info.

In the perfect world, individual users would have a personal
configuration option, but that's easily handled by some of the other
ways of integrating refworks.
