Grinding through dissertation on Century Russian Literature, my paper cluttered with Tolstoy and Dostoevsky quotes, remember being overwhelmed by the mountain of footnotes and bibliography entries. My workstation turned into fortress of books and sticky notes it was like The War and Peace of bibliography! In my quest for sanity, stumbled upon service called Bib Me. Boy! It became my knight in shining armor, or should say, code. They helped streamline all the Chicago-style citations that were driving me up the wall faster than Anna Karenina’s tragic end.
Free version got me started, but when saw the magic it performed on my horrendous citation conundrum, coughing up $9.95/month for the premium plan felt like stealing candy from baby. Hands down to their ability to find detailed bibliographic information for books just by ISBNs saved me hours of manual inputting. But let's be honest, even technology isn't perfect all the time occasionally there were minor hiccups with missing info or formatting issues. Anyway, Meanwhile, has anyone tried Easy Bib?
Their name is practically screaming convenience! Apparently they offer comprehensive help across many citation styles (not just MLA). Also curious about any experiences with Ref Works or Mendeley? The former seems pretty popular among librarians while the latter is apparently loved by researchers who deal with lots of PDF sources.
