When RefWorks is migrated, you will need to create a new account and Restore your references. We will give you plenty of warning before this happens, and ask you to backup your references again so they are up to date.

If you have any questions about this, or how to access other resources, please come to the Ask Me Desk, talk to your Academic Liaison Librarian, or contact journals@surrey.ac.uk
