www.citelike.org/www.mendeley.com/www.zotero.org - The Librarian at work offers sessions in Harvard Referencing to learners mostly level 3 and above. We have a Harvard Referencing guide which we hand out to learners and we all try to help with the referencing. If any further guidance is required, the Librarian will offer individual sessions.
I've read the information on CPD23 about the above 3 tools and glanced at the websites but have not loaded any onto my personal laptop. The traditional way of writing references down and managing research and using sticky post-its could become obsolete for some learners. From the knowledge I have gained they are good tools. Bibliographies and citations could be created/generated according to the style selected eg. Harvard. One of the problems I forsee is that because there are several different tools that do a similar job it will take a fair amount of time to look at them and get a good enough grasp of them in order to decide which of them would best suit the learners.
