Software Tools

As you do your research, it is very useful to manage all your sources using one of these citation management softwares that are both app and online based. By managing your sources using one of these tools, you can easily build libraries of your research materials that will allow you to quickly and automatically generate in-text and bibliography citations for your research papers.

Library Guide for Zotero
"Zotero collects all your research in a single, searchable interface. You can add PDFs, images, audio and video files, snapshots of web pages, and really anything else. Zotero automatically indexes the full-text content of your library, enabling you to find exactly what you're looking for with just a few keystrokes."

Library Guide for EndNote Online
EndNote Online (formerly EndNote Basic, EndNote Web) is an online program that helps you organize references and create properly formatted bibliographies.
