Bibliographic Management

There are many programs that allow you to organize references and create bibliographies. Listed below are some of the most commonly used on campus.

  • EndNote X7/X8
    The campus has purchased a site license, which allows students, faculty and staff to download a copy of EndNote X7/X8. This program takes time to learn and is best used for large numbers of references.
  • EndNote Web
    Best for students who want to create simple bibliographies. Resides on the web. Need to sign up for a free trial.

    A Firefox extension to help you collect, manage, cite, and share your research sources.
