Zotero - a Free Tool For Reference management
The reference management system Zotero helps you collect, sort, cite and share your research sources. References are stored online and locally on your computer. If you want to be able to use the sync function you create a personal account on Zotero's web site. Click on "Register" in the upper right corner of the page and enter your data.

You can also download a plugin for Word which allows you to work with Zotero directly in Word. Both citations and bibliographies can be inserted directly and bibliographies are generated automatically when you add citations to your text. 
Zotero is an extension to the web browser Mozilla Firefox which therefore also must be installed on your computer.
"Zotero Everywhere" is currently being developed, a desktop version of Zotero which will also support Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
