AWESOME! That is going to save me so much time, especially with all the small papers.

That seems like a great site.  I think I will start using it for my general papers.  Unfortunately, I am a history major and they like the stuff in Chicago style. Yeah, I had never heard of it either before I came here.  I wish they just all used the same one, it gets so confusing switching back and forth.

Chicago Style isn't too bad, we used to use it in high school.

As far as bibliography software goes, Endnote is pretty much the standard (as far as I know), once you have a whole bunch of references or PDFs lying around.  I know this isn't cool for most college students, but if you end up in a research-intensive job or grad school, it's good to have everything in one place.
