RefWorks access - at risk period for Legacy Refworks

We are currently trying to solve some continuing issues with access to RefWorks. As a result, we may need to temporarily shut off access to Legacy RefWorks at times during the next two weeks. Please contact us at library.technical@beds.ac.uk if you discover access problems.

We would encourage users to switch to the main version of RefWorks, as we are not sure how long it will be possible to continue supporting Legacy Refworks. For details of how to switch see https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/RefWorks/Product_Materials/Upgrade_Toolkit/Upgrading_to_the_New_RefWorks_User or speak to your Academic Liaison Librarian.
