[A hella cool image lives here]

Zotero
Mendeley (?)

• EMU “Citing Sources” guide (which links from Library main web page under “Research Help”)  has a page on “Citation Tools” (zotero, endnote, cite from Library databases, free citation builder tools) https://guides.emich.edu/citing/tools 

• Kelly’s “Citation Management Software” guide (zotero, endnote and paperpile) https://guides.emich.edu/CitationManagement (Mendeley is not supported, but briefly mentioned and linked in Kelly’s guide)

• Julia’s Zotero guide https://guides.emich.edu/zotero 

• Bill’s Zotero videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCn5kQzIBDwP7FyNGcK4OJqWB0cG2ZZuu   (not sure if these are linked from libguides at all)  OUTDATED?

• Youtube video “Research Tip: Using the Citation Tool in Library databases…” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucTmnMeZK2M (no links to this video in the Citing Sources guide) 

Models from other institutions:

• Wikipedia’s list of reference management tools: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_reference_management_software 

• Simple step by step https://latrobe.libguides.com/reference-management/tools 

• Video: why use a bibliographic manager? https://youtu.be/cldJlLKQx50 (a bit slow, but basic outline of concepts is good) from this page https://libguides.unm.edu/Zotero 

• Penn lists zotero, mendeley, endnote, refworks, powernotes and noodle tools https://guides.library.upenn.edu/citationmgmt 

• Yale distinguishes old and new refworks, regular and online endnote (but not regular and online zotero), and explains how to integrate the tools with google docs https://guides.library.yale.edu/citationmanagement 

• Jason Puckett has wrote a 2017 booklet, but his online guide looks up to date: https://research.library.gsu.edu/zotero 

• https://guides.lib.purdue.edu/citation 

• This page also includes JabRef and acsChemWorx https://libguides.mines.edu/citing/software 

Actions:  which tools are we going to support?  

How do we represent Mendeley since it is both a ref manager and a social network?

Need for consolidation and effective cross referencing of guide content among our guides and website, updating or re-creating videos.  

How do we distinguish info for beginners vs serious researchers?

(vocabulary: “reference management/er” “citation management/er” and “bibliographic management” are all used)
