Zotero is an application that collects, manages, and cites research sources. There are helper applications that work with Firefox, Chrome, or Safari to collect citations as you browse the web. Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.

EndNote Basic (formerly known as EndNote Web) is an online citation manager. It allows you to create your own personal database by importing references from databases. You can use these references in writing papers and automatically format the paper. EndNote Basic is provided through the Web of Science platform and users must create an account on that service in order to save and output citations. EndNote Basic can also interact with the desktop version of EndNote, which is available for purchase from the University Bookstore.
