Workshops @ Your Library: Choosing a Citation Manager

A citation manager helps organize PDFs and notes as well as format citations in thousands of styles. Unfortunately, there is no best citation manager. The three citation managers the library teaches–Zotero, EndNote, and Mendeley–all have different strengths and weaknesses. This class previews each citation manager and explains the differences between them.
