RefWorks

Librarians will support RefWorks users in migrating to Zotero for citation management. It is widely recognized, user-friendly, and offers similar functionalities.
Ask Us for help with migration. Zotero is open source, meaning researchers are able to keep their account after they leave Smith without expense.
The libraries will be adding a subscription to Zotero Unlimited Storage to allow Smith researchers to save files such as PDF documents with unlimited personal and group cloud storage.
