At the end of the Fall semester the library will no longer support Refworks citation manager. Our access will end on December 31st, 2020.
Going forward the library will be recommending and supporting the use of open source citation management options such as Zotero and Mendeley.
In the upcoming weeks the library will be providing you with additional tools to help you migrate and keep your Refworks data as well as assisting you with the relevant information on how to make the choice that is best for you in citation management tools. Please keep an eye out for these tutorials and instructions.
