I also use CiteULike and del.icio.us for bibliographic work. (On both sites you'll need to click on tags of interest.) Browse what's on this page and then check out CiteULike, del.icio.us, CompPile, and the MLA International Bibliography for more. A list of all the static bibliographies that I've put online is here.


Please email suggestions, corrections, or additions.
