Issues adding/editing references in Internet Explorer 9

RefWorks have advised us that there are some problems for Internet Explorer 9 users adding and editing references, particularly when trying to cut and paste text - if this affects you, you can use what is known as "compatibility mode" in IE9. Select the Tools menu in IE9, and then select the Compatibility View option so that a checkmark appears next to the entry on its left. 

Alternatively, you can use a different browswer, such as Firefox.

RefWorks are aiming to fix this bug early in the new year.
