In response to a proposal from the Reference & Instruction Committee, the eLibrary/RIC subcommittee is implementing a new field in the Database Information Resources pages. The new field will include information about RefWorks. You can see a template of the new page here: http://toby.library.ubc.ca/resources/infopagetemp.cfm?id=196 Please post comments to the blog if you have any questions or concerns about the wording or placement of this new field.There are some problems with certain vendors (Ovid/Silver Platter, Proquest/Chadwyck Healey, etc.) but we are working on a solution for these cases.

Having Refworks on the database pages will be really really helpful. I wish it could be a bit higher on the page–however, it is better to have something than nothing.
I have had feedback that there should be a RefWorks link that is more visible on the UBC Library Main page–couldn’t we have something like the e-help balloon?
cheers for now
Thanks for this feedback Jo-Anne. Hilde mentioned the same thing about moving the RefWorks field up on the page. Perhaps we could move Subject Area, Resource Type, Print Access further down the page? I’ve asked the eLibrary/RIC subcommittee if we can discuss the possibility of rearranging the fields on the page as a future project.
