very useful tool. You type in (or inport) the relevant info (author,
title, etc.) and then choose whatever citation format you wish (APA, MLA,
Chicago, literally dozens of styles) and the program automatically
formats your bibliography and in-text citations in the correct format. It
really works. Howard Silver is the contact person in the

Hi,<br><br>
Do you have a preference for any of the many citation styles out <br>
there -- APA, MLA, Chicago, etc?<br><br>
I'd appreciate any insights ... I've been using APA and have found it
<br>
frustrating, but don't know if there's anything better. I'd love
one <br>
that's pretty intuitive, with an excellent, well-organized, detailed
<br>
manual for looking up the weird ones (unpublished working paper, <br>
poster at a conference, online database, etc.)<br><br>
Thanks!<br><br>
-Amy<br>
