NTRL (National Technical Reports Library) This link opens in a new window
Serves as the largest central resource for government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business related information available.

Citation Management Tools

The library can help you with different tools for managing your footnotes and creating bibliographies. These tools include EndNote and Zotero. Expert help is available from Scholarspace.

EndNote
You buy the software and install it on your computer. See the EndNote guide for more information.
Zotero
A free Firefox extension that you use on your own computer, not library or Sites machines. It's good for citing web resources but still in beta. Visit the Zotero guide for more information.
