The Libraries are terminating their subscription to RefWorks as of December 31, 2024. All RefWorks users will have to transfer their references to another citation management tool before December 31, 2024 or lose access.
The Libraries launched institutional storage for the citation manager, Zotero, last year and has been providing workshops and expert guidance to researchers making the shift.
For those that will need to transition from RefWorks before December 31, the Libraries have created an online learning module, Exporting Citations From RefWorks to Zotero, to make the switch easy. If you have specific questions, the Zotero team will be holding office hours the week of November 11, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., for in-person or virtual support. Drop-in or book an appointment ahead of time.
The Libraries' Zotero Guide provides more information about using Zotero or contact the Zotero team to inquire about customized workshop opportunities for individuals, classes, research groups and others.
