How to save time in citing sources

In the process of doing research, you will encounter a multitude of resources including books, articles, and websites.  Keeping all of these organized as you progress, and ultimately creating a bibliography using a particular citation style can be a daunting and time-consuming task. 

But no fear, citation management help is here!  With a relatively easy-to-use tool, you will be able to organize and save the resources you find.  And with virtually the click of a button, you will be able to generate bibliographies in nearly any citation style.

There are a number of citation management tools available to choose from and they are compatible with many of the databases you'll be using. There are free tools like EndNote Basic and Zotero and paid tools like the full version of EndNote (note: University of Hawaii students can buy EndNote at an institutional rate). 

To learn how to use these and other citation management tools, contact the Health Sciences Library at hslinfo@hawaii.edu.
