Make your reference list and in-line citations easy with citation management tools. These tools allow you to build a personalized collection of references, and from there automatically format and insert citations and bibliographies into your document. We offer guides and workshops on two citation managers, and you can contact us for support with others. 

Citation tools enable you to:

• build and store personalized collections of references
• organize and manage these citations within folders
• build bibliographies
• automatically format and insert citations in papers you're writing
• We support two of these tools: EndNote and Mendeley
