Literature Review: A Self-Guided Tutorial

A citation manager stores all your citations in a searchable database so that you can:

• Keep your research organized.
• Format your footnotes or endnotes automatically in the style of your choice (APA, Chicago, MLA, etc.).
• Format your bibliography automatically.
• Insert references into a Word document with a click.
• Create and format an annotated bibliography.

While there are other citation managers available, Williams has a site-license for EndNote and it is used by faculty in several departments. If you are collaborating with a faculty member, find out what citation manager they use.
