Nice, but Zotero does all this with even more style from within your browser.

There's also Papers (only for OS X, and won't be free when the final version is out).

If you work on a Mac and use LaTeX, you can't live without BibDesk. (Well, okay, you could live, but who would want to?)

Zotero looks really cool. Seems to be like a mixture of itunes and connotea .

Chris,

I'm glad that you brought up Zotero. I've been writing my paper and was fed up with Endnote so i was looking out there on the net for a freeware that would do my bibliographies and I stumbled onto Zotero. Unforetunately it wasn't up to par for formatting Bibliographies, but it seems like it would be great for just keeping your refs up to date and manageable. Hopefully newer versions of Zotero will soon get out that have full bibliographic capabilities.

You could give the java based JabRef (http://jabref.sourceforge.net) a try. No problems since 3 years.

For those on Linux, KBib or Kbibtex are good too.
