Manage your References
- RefWorks RefWorks is web-based software for managing your citations. It is free to all faculty, staff and students at UW-Madison.
- EndNote EndNote is desktop citation management software that you can purchase from the DoIT Tech Store. It may be more appropriate if you are writing for publication.
- Zotero Zotero is a free Firefox plug-in that allows you to save citations, documents and copies of web pages. It's easy to learn, but not robust enough to support writing large documents.
