Bibliographic management tools are tools that help you organize, manage, and cite the sources that you've found during your research.  They can be great for so many things:

• Keeping track of those articles you found.
• Letting you search for a source that you've found by whatever criteria you'd like.
• Keeping annotations and notes about those articles.
• Allowing you to group articles by whatever you'd like.
• Automatically creating citations and bibliographies in your preferred style (yes, that includes APA 6th)

Want to track and organize your research? Getting ready for comps? Want to automate the formatting of your citations for your paper? These tools can speed up your work! Reminders: keep good notes - don't assume - always double check!
