Dylan,
I find that the natbib package works very well. It's part of the tetex
distribution, for example. There are options for controlling the form of the
citation. Thus
\usepackage[round]{natbib}
does what you want.
Also, check out jabref (jabref.sourceforge.net). Very cool java application
for managing a bibliography database. It's native tongue is bibtex, but it
can handle imports from many many other common formats. The best I've
seen....
Cheers,
Aaron
