For my own bibliographic (and almost all other scholarly writing) I use Nota Bene from Nota Bene Associates. Nota Bene is an integrated word processor, bibliographic database (Ibidem) which includes optional library and periodical search (Archiva), note indexing database (Orbis) and optional non-Roman alphabet support (Lingua). For bibliographic work Archiva (available in three versions) either captures entries which you find in your usual search tools or can do its own searches. Once a record is captured via Archiva it can be entered into your bibliographical database in Ibidem. Once there you can then automatically cite the work in a document and the citation will update as you update your bibliographical entry.
In the past I used BookWhere Academic from WebClarity Software. BookWhere is an excellent product which searches libraries all over the world who have internet-available card catalogues in Z39.50 format. You can then export what you find in the format of your favourite bibliography program. BookWhere is an excellent product and the only reason I stopped using it is that Nota Bene developed Archiva which can also import records from periodical searches.
You should always begin any bibliographical searches with your own local library. In my case that is the Wilfrid Laurier University Library, which is part of the Tri-University Group of Libraries (TUG) along with the libraries of the University of Waterloo and the University of Guelph. The TUG "card catalogue" is called PRIMO. Subject guides to electronic and print resources in Religious Studies and Theology are available
