The McGill Library has discontinued its institutional subscription to RefWorks, effective September 30, 2021. If you are a current RefWorks user, you will need to migrate your references to another citation manager software by September 2021. It will take about 30 minutes to make the change.

We recommend Zotero for its ease of use and functionality. We will reach out to frequent users with instructions on how to migrate references to Zotero, and you can find more information and the guides here.

Update (January 14, 2021):

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Library extended all loans due during the campus shutdown to January 11, 2021. On this date, most loans for accounts in good standing we rolled into the new loans policy (automatic renewal every 30 days). Some loans did not automatically renew for accounts in good standing and the Library is working to address this issue. 

Items checked out to patrons with accounts that were not in good standing did not renew; these items are now overdue.
