At their most basic, citation management tools help you collect citations for articles, books, webpages (and lots more) to use in your research, and to create bibliographies in your writing using a particular citation style (APA, MLA, Chicago, and many others.)

UA Libraries provides limited help and support for these three citation managers:
Mendeley and Zotero are free. EndNote is free to UA students, faculty, and staff through a campus site license.
Consider setting up an account for one of the tools and try it! Once you choose a tool, you can always change your mind; citations can be transferred between tools. (Attachments like PDFs don't always transfer.)
Make an individual appointment with a liaison librarian at the Main Library or the Health Sciences Library (HSL) to learn more about choosing and using citation management tools. We are here to help!
