To organize your research and produce a bibliography and in-text citations, create a free account in RefWorks

Ref Works

RefWorks is a web-based research management, writing and collaboration tool. Make a RefWorks folder for each paper or project you work on.  Then "export" references (and full text) from a library database to RefWorks.  Use RefWorks Write-n-Cite to insert in-text references, and then use RefWorks to format a bibliography/works cited list.
