A number of people have been asking about the bibliographic software available today that helps you maintain your own databases of journal articles, books, websites, etc., for easy insertion in research papers. The programs offer ways to download citations for articles directly from online databases, such as those accessible through the library's homepage. Additionally, you can reformat the style of your bibliographies from MLA to APA, for example, with one click. Perhaps, most helpfully, many of the bibliographic software packages offer templates to use for writing articles for particular academic journals. Perhaps some of you who already use this software will post your own recommendations. In the meantime, here are some links to learn more about a few of the most popular programs:
Endnote
Biblioscape
Procite
RefWorks
Reference Manager
Endnote, Procite and Reference Manager are owned by the same company.
Most of the programs have 30-day trial versions that you can download for free test drives.
If you decide you like one of them, you may be able to get academic pricing for them through the Campus E-Store.
