Citation Generators
Looking for a quick fix? You can try automatic citation generators for this. The Library has citation shortcuts in most of our databases, so if you're using our resources just look for a "cite" link like this one:
The best free online citation generator we have found is ZoteroBib. It's made by the same nonprofit that creates the Zotero citation manager software. If you decide to use it, be sure to double-check the results. It's usually accurate, but you're the one getting a grade!
