Bibliographic Management Software

Quickly create bibliographies with ZoteroBib

Powered by the same technology behind Zotero, ZoteroBib lets you add items from across the web and generate bibliographies in more than 9,000 citation styles. There’s no software to install or account to create, and it works on any device, including tablets and phones. Your bibliography is stored right on your device — in your browser’s local storage — unless you create a version to share or load elsewhere, so your data remains entirely under your control.

Create bibliographies and a library of your research with Zotero

Bibliographic management software acts as your personal research assistant allowing you to track, organize and share the works that are important to your research.

The Leddy Library supports Zotero as a bibliographic management system.

Zotero [zoh-TAIR-oh] is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. It lives right where you do your work—in the web browser itself.
