If you don't want to create citations from scratch, we suggest using a free citation assistance program. Some library research databases (like Academic Search, JSTOR, etc.) will also provide a tool to format citations for you.
If you use a program for citation assistance, ALWAYS check the citation provided against the official citation manual for the style you are using (MLA, APA, Turabian, etc.). If you have questions, contact your professor or check out the additional resources provided on this page.
While there are many citation programs available (EasyBib, BibMe, KnightCite, etc.), we often recommend using Zotero. OR try ZoteroBib - a quick way to get your citations done right.
Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool that can help you to collect, organize, cite, and share your research resources, as a standalone program. With the click of a button you can instantly store citation information for the online information you find as you browse the web or the library's databases. You can also annotate your sources as well as organize them into separate folders.
For more information about how to use Zotero, check out this How to Use Zotero guide or the Quick Start Guide created by the folks at Zotero.
