RefWorks has now released its support of APA 7th Edition, which was published in October.

Update December 17, 2019: DOIs should have ONLY the DOI itself in the data field - the style will add the https://doi.org/ for you. It won't strip out anything so you need to remove it if you've added it.

Also it will not adjust title case for you so you need to do this yourself in your citation records.

This is the equivalent of the "APA 6th (No title casing applied)" option - RefWorks does not currently plan to offer a 7th edition style that adjusts title casing.

Movie Talks @ Robertson Library: The Staging Post

Robertson Library, WUSC UPEI, and the Rotaract Club of UPEI invite you to attend a screening of the documentary The Staging Post.

The film follows Afghan Hazara refugees, Muzafar, Khadim and Tahira. Stranded in Indonesia after Australia 'stopped the boats' and facing many years in limbo, they build a community and start a school which inspires a refugee education revolution. (Kanopy, 2017)

The Staging Post was produced and directed by Australian documentary filmmaker Jolyon Hoff.

The purpose of the film will be to raise money for the Shine A Light Program, an initiative that provides women and girls within refugee camps the opportunity to better their education prospects.

Admission is free, but there will be donations accepted at the door.  Any amount can make a difference in someone's life.
