Bib Me

One of our English faculty at my college where I am a librarian recently pointed out to us a website called Bib Me. One of her students had used it to compile his references for his English paper and she was rather impressed. For the past year, we have been trying to promote and get our students to use Refworks and it has been too confusing to many of them, plus it is expensive. The other day I tried Bib Me for myself and I have to say that I am impressed. You can enter in as little or as much information as you want about books, magazines, articles, websites and more and it will look up online the rest of the information for you and then easily format your list of references according to the citation style of your choice. Wow!
We are now linking to it from our library web page and are going to start encouraging our students to use it and we will probably cancel our Refworks when it expires at the end of 2009.
