[Eril-l] migrate to new refworks?

[Lee Adams]

Hi,

We are also doing a "soft migration" and are having a rep give us a
demonstration next week. We have also asked that the link to the New
Refworks be bigger. I'm glad to hear we aren't the only ones! We were told
that final migration would happen in January 2018, so there's quite a bit
of time to run them both simultaneously before you will be forced to
migrate.

I created a New Refworks account with my same email, but a different
password, and I have been able to get into both the legacy and new versions
that way.
