BibMe:在线参考书目检索工具是一个文献格式生成网站，非常实用的参考书目在线工具，可帮助用户检索所需要的参考书目，包括文献、书籍、网页等等，自动生成 RTF 格式文档供用户下载，省去了影印的麻烦。 BibMe文献检索工具成立于2007年，有卡耐基梅隆大学的信息系统部门的学生创办，该网站在设计的时候采取了创建目录的模式，减少了写论文的时候所话费的时间，尤其是需要花费无数的时间去格式化论文索引目录。 BibMe is a free automatic citation creator that supports MLA, APA, Chicago, and Turabian formatting. BibMe leverages external databases to quickly fill citation information for you. BibMe will then format the citation information and compile a bibliography according to the guidelines of the style manuals. If you prefer, you can enter your citation information manually. BibMe also features a citation guide that provides students with the style manuals' guidelines for citing references. BibMe started in January 2007 as a student project in the Information Systems department of Carnegie Mellon University. The website was created through a combination of Ruby on Rails and AJAX, with most of the team developing in Ruby on Rails for the first time! BibMe was designed with the goal of taking the hassle out of creating a bibliography. We felt that after spending weeks working on an essay or research paper, the last thing a student wants to do is spend countless hours formatting citations. We wanted to create a tool that would enable our users to spend more time working on their essays and research papers, and less time worrying about their bibliographies. After a semester of development, bibme.org went live in May 2007. The website caught the attention of students and educators alike, finding uses in the classroom setting. Our final year at school was spent improving and enhancing BibMe. Although we have since graduated, we have continued updating BibMe to make it your comprehensive source for all citation services. BibMe has come a long way since its inception as an academic project, but we never forget about the students using our service and we are committed to keeping BibMe free.
