If you use a reference manager (such as Mendeley, Refworks, Zotero, etc), find out how to export its contents as a .bib file. You should be able to find instructions by googling, for instance, "refworks export bib".
If you don't use one of these, choose a reference manager, add a couple of references and find out how to export its contents as a .bib file. The library provides guidance on the different reference managers available to help you choose. The library also has some resources to get you started with various reference managers.
