Citation Tools
Citation/Reference management tools not only help you keep all of your research organized and in one place, they help you write your citations! Below are a few options to chose from. They all work about the same so use whichever you personally prefer. The Libraries' Citation Managers page has more information.
- EndNote is another popular tool, especially in the sciences. However, it is pricey. It is good to be aware of, but most likely not necessary unless you already have a preference for it.
- Zotero and Mendeley are both quality free options.
If you need assistance with any of these, just ask!
