Citation management tools help you manage your research, collect and cite sources, and create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles. Zotero is free software that you can install on your computer -- it helps organize your research, and then connects to Word to makes it much easier to create in-text citations and bibliographies. The library has created a self-paced tutorial as well as this handy guide to using Zotero -- including add-ons that allow you to edit pdfs.
It's always good to double check the formatting -- none of the software is perfect!
Some handy resources:
The Library offers workshops -- in person and via Zoom -- on using Zotero. Check the calendar for options! If none of these work for you, we can schedule individually.
