Managing Your Citations

What is a citation management tool?

Citation management tools allow users to retrieve information, such as books, articles and Web sites from the Internet, including library databases. These tools let users organize their citations in folders, or collections, and they work with word processing software to insert properly formatted in-text citations and bibliographies.
