A citation management system allows you to store and organize citations online as well as insert citations and a bibliography into your paper in the format of your choice--MLA, APA, and more. If you need to manage a large number of citations or are writing a lot of papers that require you to cite sources, a citation management system may make citing sources in your paper a whole lot easier.
The library provides support for two tools: PaperPile and Zotero. The library's Citation Managers guide can help you decide which is best for you and shows you how to get started on using these handy apps.
