Previously, in order to manage a smooth transition, Dal Libraries signed one final contract with RefWorks, a web-based citation manager in use at pilipiliÂþ»­ since 2005 that allows one to compile, edit and format bibliographies by importing references directly from online databases.

Our final year under the contract will come to an end on April 30. Dwindling usage of RefWorks is one of the main factors driving this decision. There are a number of useful and free alternatives available,  for instance, and we’re seeing many users moving to those options on their own. (Some faculties at Dal also subscribe to EndNote — contact your department's administration staff to check.)

For more information about migrating content from RefWorks, please refer to the Library's Citation Management subject guide () or contact refworks@dal.ca. Also, keep an eye out for information sessions through the Scholarship @ Dal series (.)

Dalhousie Libraries will provide assistance to RefWorks users who want to move their content from RefWorks to the service of their choice, and will continue to support users with their new citation managers.
