Where has Refworks gone?

If you are looking for Refworks – our bibliographic management program – the university’s subscription to Refworks ended January 1, 2017, permanently.

As an alternative to Refworks, we are recommending a free bibliographic citation management tool called Zotero. Instructions on how to install Zotero can be found here http://library.shu.edu/zotero/installing.
