Citation Management at Cornell

Are you buried in index cards or printouts from the library catalog and the web?
Citation management software helps you organize and manage the information you gather during library research.

What is citation management software?
Citation management software allows a user to organize and retrieve information, typically citations for books, articles, and websites. Citation management software, also sometimes called personal bibliographic database management software, allows the user to create a database of library research citations by interfacing with library databases. The citation manager then works with word processing software to insert properly formatted footnotes or citations into a paper and create a properly formatted bibliography.

Which citation management programs are used at Cornell?
Individuals at Cornell use a range of programs, but the Cornell University Library supports RefWorks and EndNote:
