You might also want to check out Zotero (
http://www.zotero.org).
Zotero is a free and open source plugin for firefox developed by George Mason University and funded by the Andrew Mellon Organization.
Its angle on this space is as an alternative to end notes so it handles citation management and bibliographies. It has really nice integration with most libraries so you can have a one-click citation memorization. It also allows you to store papers in its database so you can use tagging and the citation management system to store and find your articles.
Even things that can't be stored in its database, like physical books, are stored through the citation index. And its handling of web pages is also great.
However, its real strength is its synchronization. You can pull up your database from home or from work and it automatically synchs. Even better yet, if you are collaborating, you can share a library automatically with your colleagues.
Finally, as a Firefox plugin it is cross-platform.
And, did I mention that it is free?
