Citation Manager:

RefWorks is a web-based bibliographic management program that allows users to create their own personal database of bibliographic references by importing references from online databases. RefWorks makes it easy to search, sort, and use these references in writing papers and then to automatically format the paper and the bibliography. Refworks provides import formats for many databases, including Proquest and the CSA collection of databases.

Citing Sources:

Sources and Citations at Dartmouth College "This document provides a broad overview of the practice of citing sources. It discusses why learning to cite sources is an essential part of your education, as well as why failing to cite your sources properly can have serious consequences. This document covers a wide range of scenarios relating to citing sources, plagiarism, and Dartmouth’s Academic Honor Principle." (from the Preface of Sources)
