Reference Managers

A reference manager (also called a citation manager) stores your references and generates your citations and bibliography for you. There are many options out there for reference management. We support Mendeley and Zotero. In our experience and that of many other students, using a reference manager will save you time and keep you organized. We strongly recommend that you register for one and start learning how to use it now so that it is ready to go when it's time to do your capstone.

Reference Managers Comparison Tool

As always, librarians are happy to help you decide which tool is right for you and to learn how to use the tool of your choice.
