Information Fluency Toolbox

Google Scholar now has a citation feature that provides citations in MLA, APA, and Chicago style.  The citations seem to be accurate, if incomplete.  They lack the required information about online access.

Citation management software, also known as bibliographic management software or citation managers, can help you manage and organize your citations and format bibliographies and footnotes in your papers.

Many different citation management tools are available - some are available for free while others are not. EndNote is a leading product in a group of desktop, fee-based, citation managers.  Competing with the desktop products are web-based programs.  Popular names in this second group are Refworks, EndNote Web, Zotero, and many more.  All citation managers carry out the same basic functions but specific features may vary from program to program.

Most citation management tools can help you to:

• import citation information from databases and library catalogs
  
  
• collect, organize, and annotate citations
  
  
• generate bibliographies and format footnotes or endnotes in a variety of styles 

Please keep in mind that the following tools are not perfect. It is highly recommended that you verify the accuracy of any citations produced by these tools using the citation style's official manual.
