Citation Managers
Citation managers enable you to:
- download citations from library databases, such as ERIC or Education Fulltext
- organize them into folders based on project, topic, etc.
- insert citations and bibliographies or reference lists into your final papers or reports
There are several options, and they can all be complicated, so schedule an appointment with a librarian if you would like to set up an appointment to see which citation manager is right for you.
