EndNote Online is an online bibliographic service which will help you to store and organise your references and automatically format citations, reference lists and bibliographies in your word documents.

ProQuest Flow is a new resource that collects, manages and organizes research papers and documents.  You can read annotate, organize, and cite your research as well as collaborate with friends by sharing collections. Flow works seamlessly with our ‘MultiSearch’ discovery search.

Referencing with MS Word is geared towards 1^st years who want to know how to create a bibliography or works cited in Microsoft Word. If input your sources into Word, it can create and update a bibliography automatically. This can save you a lot of time and help to ensure that your references are accurate and correct.
