I like Zotero which is a free online bibliographical management tool.  haven't used it through Chrome yet but have used it in Firefox and got the add on for Word. It automatically cited information for you which was a real time saver for me when completing my Advanced Diploma studies. Read the article in Bright Ideas for more information. 

I too have use Zotero for my uni studies and found it quite clever. Zotero works better when installed using Firefox (which I personally don't use). So, if you are looking for a program to keep your bibliography on track take a look at this program.
