Hello RefWorks Admins and Librarians, In October 2026, RefWorks will be renamed EndNote Fusion as part of Clarivate’s move to a unified reference management platform. No action is required for end users. Accounts, data, and core workflows will remain fully available, with no expected disruption to service. End users will also be notified in-app at the time of the change.

A message chain where I requested access to open a file - a Word document a student had shared to my library team for assistance wiht a systematic review. The chain opens with a florid apology for using silly language. The chain ends with the original message, which was me updating the message "I'd like access please" with the suffix "mothertucker". I was certain this file belonged to my colleague, desk neighbour, and friend. IT DID NOT.

Casio G-Shock GW-m5610 - a long standing classic that has solar powered face panel, 10 year battery life, and resets the time every night to radio towers that broadcast atomic time. This means it never needs a battery change (maybe once a decade) and never needs the time reset (most quartz watches will drift over weeks or months)

A picture of a truck on an A-Road in Scotland carrying many tree logs. It is reminiscent of a scene in the Final Destination movies in which a log truck spills its load and kills many people.
