RefWorks requires a subscription that is currently paid for by the University Libraries. Our subscription will end July 31, 2021. We will be offering workshops throughout the spring to help those using RefWorks to transition to a different citation manager, if they choose to do so.
The Libraries continue to support citation management for both Zotero and Mendeley.
Due to the short time we will be retaining access to RefWorks, at this point, we DO NOT recommend new users select RefWorks as their citation manager. If you have any questions about migrating your citations from RefWorks, or about the other citation management platforms we support, please contact us through our Ask Us service.
While this guide is all about citation management tools, you may feel the need to brush up on your knowledge of citation formatting and other rules for a specific style. Below are some Library Information Literacy Modules on citation styles. These contain video tutorials, short quizzes, and more materials to help with the topic. Lastly, links to the citation style guides available through the Libraries.
