Most databases allow you to download records and citations for referral at a later time.
Bibliographic management software organizes those references and helps you to create bibliographies
in the appropriate publication style for your discipline. The following websites will provide you
with some background information on different bibliographic software programs:
APA Citation Builder
Allows the user to enter the citation information and builds the citation correctly in APA
5th edition style or MLA style. "The Citation Builder will help you create citations for journal
articles, books, web sites, and interviews. ... Be sure to type information into the Citation
Builder accurately, keeping in mind spelling, capitalization, etc." -- From the site. (Last updated
