Module 2/Question 2

What features in your chosen reference management software can be used to sort, classify, and otherwise organize references?  Describe software functionality that allows you to better organize and share information for efficient retrieval and use.

I used EndNote for my reference management.  I really like the option to have custom groups of topics that you can save in your library for future reference.  It also has the full text reference group, which is nice and the trash doesn't empty until you do it.  Which may come in handy if you were to inadvertently delete an article.  

The EndNote software is user-friendly and easy to manage.  It has a cite while you write function that automatically manages your bibliography when you insert a citation in a document.  This saves a lot of time and headache.  In the library, you can have very specific groups that you can easily reference in a pinch.
