RefWorks is a powerful online research management, writing and collaboration tool designed to help researchers at all levels easily gather, organize, store and share all types of information and to instantly generate citations and bibliographies.
Information stored in the citation manager Refworks is no longer hosted in Canada. Before its move from Canadian servers, all subscribers were given the option to transfer to Refworks, Proquest U.S.A. It is the understanding of the Mount Library that while there are other citation management tools available, none offer Canadian hosting. In September 2014, the Mount Library moved its RefWorks accounts to servers hosted in the United States. Please contact the Mount Library (library@msvu.ca) if you have any questions regarding RefWorks or any other citation management tool.
