Tools & Software

Using the right tool for the job is important. That's why we've made it easy for you to find those tools. Here you'll find software applications (both free and fee-based) that focus on making your research easier, faster, and perhaps more entertaining.

EndNote

EndNote is a bibliographic management software program that allows you to collect and organize citations and insert them into a word processing program in formatted bibliographic styles. With EndNote you can search online bibliographic databases, organize your references and images, and create bibliographies and figure lists instantly! Instead of spending hours typing bibliographies or using index cards to organize your references, do it the easy way by using EndNote.

Zotero

"Zotero is an easy-to-use yet powerful research tool that helps you gather, organize, and analyze sources (citations, full texts, web pages, images, and other objects), and lets you share the results of your research in a variety of ways. An extension to the popular open-source web browser Firefox, Zotero includes the best parts of older reference manager software (like EndNote) - the ability to store author, title, and publication fields and to export that information as formatted references - and the best parts of modern software and web applications (like iTunes and del.icio.us), such as the ability to interact, tag, and search in advanced ways." --Zotero.org
