------------------
I use and like EndNote, which seems to be the weapon of choice here at
Amherst College. It has very nice features such as accessing many online
databases and library catalogs which you can search and import the
results. It can format and export the data in various styles. I only use
a fraction of its capabilities. I have had some problems with crashes on
Mac, but I'm not sure if they are really bugs or some system conflict I
haven't figured out yet.
