Managing Your References

What can Reference Management software do for me?
Reference Management software enables you to create searchable databases, or "libraries," from references you locate in a bibliographic or image database, online catalog, or from an article/book chapter. These programs also interact with Microsoft Word documents to automatically format references to create footnotes, end notes, and bibliographies in various citation styles.

EndNote and RefWorks are the two reference management tools supported at MSK by Information Systems and the Library. Reference Manager is also used by researchers and individuals at the Center.
