What is a Citation Manager?

When you find articles of interest in a database or search engine, programs such as EndNote make it easy to pull the citations into a personal database and create a collection of references and cite them in your document - the software will automatically put in correctly formatted citations and a bibliography. The Matas Library provides support for EndNote. There are many other tools available.
