Manage Citations and Develop Your Bibliography with Zotero
Zotero is a bibliographic citation manager; it keeps track of your citations and creates a bibliography for you. Zotero is especially useful for larger research projects when you are citing many different sources. Zotero includes a plugin to easily create in-text citations within Microsoft Word and Google Docs. Schedule a library research appointment to get one-on-one assistance with Zotero.

Using EndNote?
The Libraries will stop supporting EndNote at the end of the 2023-24 academic year. Until then, you can still access EndNote:
- Sign up and access EndNote here (unproxied version): EndNote Web
- This tutorial will help you get started: EndNote Tutorial
Using a Different Citation Manager?
If you use a different citation manager, like BibTex, Easybib, or Mendeley, librarians can try to troubleshoot some basic questions but may not be able to provide the same level of support as we do with Zotero.
