Choosing the right reference management tool for you…
25/03/2025
Are you thinking about using reference management software to help you manage your references? The Library is here to help you.
While Mendeley has been our go-to reference management software for some years, we’ve recently explored other options and expanded our recommendations.
As well as Mendeley, we are now offering support for those using:
We have some useful online presentations coming up:
- Getting started with Zotero (Lunch+Learn) – Tuesday, 1st April 2025, 12:05pm-12:55pm
- Getting started with quick citation generators (Lunch+Learn) – Thursday, 10th April 2025, 13:05-13:55
- Mendeley 1: Getting to know Mendeley (Lunch+Learn) – Wednesday, 23rd April 2025, 13:05-13:55
- Mendeley 2: Going further (Lunch+Learn) – Thursday, 8th May 2025, 12:05pm-12:55pm
Not sure if those dates and times suit you? No worries! Just sign up for the session, and if you can’t make it, there’s no need to cancel your booking, we’ll send you a recording afterwards.
Or, you can register your interest in the session on DATES (click on the pink ‘View’ button, then the ‘Register Interest’ button) and we’ll let you know when we schedule a new session on that topic.
Still deciding on the best referencing approach for you? We also offer an online session on:
- How to manage your references: choosing the right approach for you (Lunch+Learn)
which you can sign up for on DATES.
We are also updating the Library webpages on reference management software, so keep an eye out for more information there.
If you’ve got any questions, please get in touch with us at library@cranfield.ac.uk.
