Problems with logging into Refworks

Thursday, July 5th, 2012

I am trying to login to Refworks and get a page that says it is now a service of the Ontario Scholars Portal. However, when I click on the provided link http://refworks.scholarsportal.info.proxy.lib.sfu.ca, nothing happens.

A. Thanks for reporting this problem. There seems to be an issue with the vendor’s side. We have contacted Scholars’ Portal to let them know and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon.

Sincerely,
Yolanda
