You may also wish to invest time learning how to use a reference manager - reference managers are software used by many scholars and academics to store citations permanently, and create bibliographies in the style of their choice.  

Two freely available reference managers are Zotero, but there are many others available  - if you write a lot of research papers, need to store your citations permanently for frequent reuse, and want to expedite the process of writing bibliographies, you may wish to learn how to use a reference manager.  The Library also holds workshops on how to use Zotero.
