This document provides information about library literature sources and citation managers. It begins with questions to test the reader's knowledge of databases like INSPEC and Web of Science as well as citation tools such as RefWorks and Zotero. It then lists library services and resources available to students, including databases, citation help, and research guides. Details are given on specific databases like INSPEC, Scifinder Scholar, and Google Scholar. Free citation managers RefWorks and Zotero are also summarized, explaining how to create accounts, import references, organize folders and bibliographies.
