At the moment it is running alongside the current classic interface. You can switch between the old look and the new look by clicking a link in the top right of the screen. This is so you can start familiarising yourself with the way it looks and how it works.

At the end of December the old interface will be retired and RefWorks 2.0 will be the only interface for RefWorks.

If you would like to know more RefWorks have produced this introductory video and there are some tutorials and user guides here and here.

To create a RefWorks account or log in to a current account, you can access RefWorks via the library web pages. This page also gives information about the other changes happening to RefWorks.

The Clio ILL service will be unavailable on Wednesday 26th October between 9.00-9.30am. This is to fix an underlying problem.
We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause.

We’ve just added a new video to our Youtube channel, explaining how we use the Dewey Decimal Classification system to arrange the books in the Library:

Between now and December 2011 the way you access your RefWorks account will be changing.

We are phasing out the Athens access route and introducing the Shibboleth access route.

This is part of the work to provide more seamless and consistent access to library resources.

Remember that after 30th December 2011 the Athens route will no longer be available.

To find out all about how this affects you, see how to transfer your references from your old RefWorks account to a new one, and what changes this will cause please take a look at the all information on the library web pages.

And if you would like more information or to see a member of library staff for guidance with transferring your material then please contact the library.

The ebooks published by BizEd are hosted by a third party and the publisher has advised us that this third party is unable to resolve the problems currently being experienced with access to these ebooks,  so BizEd are therefore intending to make these ebook titles available via the MyiLibrary platform by the end of October.  Unfortunately this means that there is no access to these titles until this move has been successfully completed.  Please contact your tutors for suggestions of alternative titles meanwhile.  We will advise staff and students when the BizEd titles are available again via the new platform.  We apologise for this inconvenience but this is due to problems at the third party end and is outwith both our control and that of the publisher.
