Announcements

This weekend, August 18th and 19th, the legacy RefWorks system used at Frontier is scheduled for some downtime and routine maintenance. During the last maintenance period, some users had their data affected so the library has put together some brief instructions on how to save a backup file of your RefWorks library.
Please see the PDF below for instructions. There is also a YouTube video demonstrating the process.
If you have questions, please call us at 859-899-2953 or email us at librarian@frontier.edu. Thanks!
