[nabs-l] Online citation manager questions

Perhaps this isn't the same thing because I've never heard of a
"citation manager" before, but in case I'm just not familiar with the
particular symantics I found Citation Machine a few days ago and loved
it.  I used it for an annotated bibliography in APA and found it
really helpful.  It's free and can be found by just googling "citation
machine."  The accessibility was not bad either.

Good luck, and I hope this is helpful.
