1. Zotero : A free tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research source
2. Mendeley - A free reference manager and academic social network.

Here is a library guide to citation managers

Questions about grammar and structure? Don't forget to refer back to your WRIT 101 and 201 (formerly ENGL 3, 4 and 5) writing manuals. We have a couple of copies on Reserve if you need to quickly refer back to rules on commas, noun/pronoun agreement, structuring your paper, or other issues.
