A bibliographic citation manager will format citations for you in the format you choose, help you create in-line citations, and generate bibliographies or "works cited" lists for your papers. Citation managers can be a real gift when you're pressed for time, or when you have a lot of citations to manage.
The UCM Library supports four citation managers: RefWorks, Zotero, EndNote, and Mendeley. "Support" means that these are the three citation managers with which all of the librarians are familiar. We've created guides for each of them, we offer workshops on their use, and we can help you with any questions you may have. We may not know much about EasyBib or other citation managers.
