Zotero

Zotero is a free citation management application that helps you organize, annotate, and cite your resources.  Zotero takes some of the anxiety out of proper formatting of different citations styles such as APA, Chicago, and MLA.  The JCK Library now has an institutional subscription to Zotero which grants unlimited cloud storage for your resource records and full text articles.  To access the benefits of this institutional subscription, you need to sign up for a free account with your UCM email.
