EndNote  

EndNote is "Citation Management" software and the researcher's best friend!

With EndNote you may:

• download bibliographic citations from indexes like those on EBSCOhost and from the library catalog

• format the citations in your preferred style (e.g. MLA, APA, etc.)
• and insert them into a document as footnotes and references
