Zotero and Mendeley are two freely-available bibliographic management programs.

Mookini Library also subscribes to two online bibliographic management services that allow UHH faculty and students to store and organize citations and can automatically create a draft bibliography* from the citations.  RefWorks and EndNote Web do take some getting used to, but are valuable tools. Both have good tutorials and help pages or you can Book-a-Librarian for an introduction.

* You are still responsible for verifying the correctness of the automatically-created bibliography, but that's still easier than typing the citations yourself!
