The Library is terminating its subscription for 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 Library launched institutional storage to the citation manager, Zotero, last year and has been providing workshops and expert guidance to researchers making the shift.  

As part of a national consortium of libraries, the Library works to further the goal of expanding access to research through sustainable models. Our Library currently has 11 open access (OA) agreements with academic publishers that allow members of the University of Waterloo community to publish fee-free.  

Over the last several years the Library has been taking tangible steps to contribute to the reconciliation work happening at the University of Waterloo. Recent projects have included the creation of an Indigenous Research Guide and increasing our number of pre-approved smudging spaces in our libraries.

Whether you’re new to campus or returning, I’m delighted to welcome you to the University of Waterloo Library. Think of the library as your partner in learning and research. Visit us early this term--explore our spaces, discover online resources and collections, and connect with our team of information experts.
