I also use CiteULike and del.icio.us for bibliographic work. (On both sites you'll need to click on tags of interest.) Also check CompPile and the MLA International Bibliography.

A list of all the static bibliographies that I've put online is here.

Please email suggestions, corrections, or additions.
