Although there are many citation management tools available, ZSR recommends the use of Zotero most frequently for several of reasons. Zotero is: 

• A powerful all-in-one tool for collecting, managing, and citing research sources
• Awesome at citation-grabbing in library databases and in "the wild" on the web

AND ZSR provides unlimited Zotero storage for WFU users!
