BibMe

Greetings, all. For those of you who deal with citations and bibliographic formats and all, there a relatively new (June 2007) tool that I’d like you to try. It’s called BibMe and is online at http://www.bibme.org/. From what I read from the reviews of other librarians, it’s not only a free program but is good at creating bibliographies quickly and easily. Emily Chang at eHub says:

“BibMe can generate citations in MLA, APA and Chicago style (which you
can change on the fly), and I found it took half the time to create a
bibliography than any other tool I have used. Like its commercial competitors, BibMe has an extensive search function
that can find and generate a detailed citation by entering a few
keywords. Registration is simple and non-intrusive, and once you have
an account you can save and edit your bibliographies.”

I would be interested in the thoughts and opinions of OUR staff about this product. Please give it a try when you have a few minutes and then share your thoughts in the form of comments to this post.

Thanks very much.
Scott
