ĮndNote bibliographic software is available for downloading, free of charge, to all current students, faculty and staff of Columbia University from the AcIS software server. Users of both are likely to appreciate the powerful and ubiquitous citation gathering capacities provided by RefWorks server-based format, as well as the fact that bibliographic information may be passed easily from one system to the other. Individuals involved in long-term careers in research may find EndNote's greater customizability, additional features (e.g.ability to handle figures as well as citations), and personal computer storage of data more to their needs, while those who simply need to gather and use citations in current class writing may find the convenience and ease of RefWorks' online use and storage just what they need. Both support retrieval and storage of references from bibliographic databases and the use of that information in formatting in-text citations, footnotes, endnotes, and bibliographies. To meet the varying needs of its users, Columbia Libraries is currently offering access to two separate citation management softwares, EndNote and RefWorks.
