Citation Management Tool: Zotero

Zotero allows you to collect book and article citations from the library catalog and databases. Then using a plugin for MS Word, you can insert those citations into your paper in the appropriate format. 

See the library guide, Manage Citations with Zotero, on how to use this tool. The Library provides workshops and support for Zotero.
