Zotero

Zotero is good when it works but when it doesn't it can be quite frustrating to get it to automate. 75% of the time Zotero automates, the other 25% means that the source you are searching for does not have any info, of the book, embedded on the website. Ofcourse you would have to find a suitable website that has all the information of the book stored. You can highlight the text and input them in to Zotero manually. Once you have the information all set up you can just right click on the source to create a bibliography, it is very handy because it takes the time away in having to format all sources correctly.

You can also store the pdf files you find online.

Zotero working as intended...for now.
