With the rise of scholarly communication, proper citation and attribution practices have become more important than ever. Citation management software is an essential tool for meeting this challenge. Look no further than the proliferation of free- and fee-based packages on the market; new programs and updated versions of existing software offering innovative features seem to pop up all the time. Busy students and researchers do not have the time (or energy) to test-drive all the available options in order to make an informed decision regarding the selection of the right tool to manage their references. After finding the right tool, they need someone to help them use it properly. Librarians must be able to help their patrons navigate the many alternatives and effectively use the special features of the software they ultimately select.

Citation Management Tools: A Practical Guide for Librarians was written to help librarians, teachers, and writers demystify the complex world of citation management software. Topics include:

An overview of citation management software, including what it can and cannot doAdvice on selecting the right program for the right researcher and the right projectA comparison of citation managers on the marketLeveraging citation managers to provide library servicesCitation management as a collaboration and networking toolWays to use citation managers to facilitate proper citation practices and avoiding plagiarismCitation managers to tame the unruly folders on your desktopMobile citation managementFuture trends
