You can also contact a librarian by:

• Meeting with a librarian during our drop-in Reference Hours
• Sending a text message to 717-366-6623
• Chatting
• Emailing: ask@dickinson.libanswers.com
• Calling 717-245-1397 and asking for the librarian on duty, or a referral to a subject specialist

The answers to some library questions may be found by searching our Frequently Asked Questions.

RefWorks to Zotero Migration

The library is phasing out the bibliographic management program, RefWorks. It will be retired on March 31, 2020.

We will instead actively support the free, open-source resource Zotero, which has been available for a number of years. Like RefWorks, Zotero is a product that allows researchers to save, organize and easily cite research material.

If you are an active RefWorks user, please contact Nick Lonergan (lonergan@dickinson.edu) for training and help transferring your existing files to a Zotero account. Library staff will also offer training sessions on Zotero (details to be announced) and liaison librarians are also available for individual consultation.

See our migration guide.

Contact your liaison librarian.
