The UC Merced Library offers a number of citation management tools to help you format citations for a bibliography. We support three tools: RefWorks, Zotero, and Mendeley. The Library also offers workshops on the use of these tools on an occasional basis. Please consult the library events calendar to find out when the next workshop is scheduled.
Bibliographic Citation Managers
All bibliographic citation managers let you:
- add citations from databases (PsycINFO; Web of Science; Academic Search Complete, etc) and UC Library Search.
- organize your citations.
- manage and annotate PDF files.
- format citations in multiple citation styles.
- format citations in MS Word to create bibliographies*.
- share your citations with colleagues / classmates.
*Some also work with Google Docs.
