Making Citing Sources Easier





Son of a Citation Machine - this site is very easy to use.  You click on the type of formatting you want to use (MLA, APA, Turabian, or Chicago) then the type of resource (email, website, book, encyclopedia, and many more) then fill out the web form with the info required and it will create the citation for you.   Very powerful and easy to use





Bibme is another easy to use citation resource.  You can search for a book, website, etc or enter the information yourself and even create a bibliography on the site and then download it in one of four formates (MLA, APA, Turabian, or Chicago).  It supports many types of resources like books, websites, films, newspapers and more




Purdue University Owl -  The Owl Online Writing Lab from Purdue University has help and instructions for citing different resources in different formats (MLA, APA and Chicago) as well as help in conducting research and using the research.  It does not create your citations, but shows you the correct format.




Zotero is another nice tool for research and citation.  It allows you to collect, organize, cite, and share your resources in different formats.  It is a download that is integrated into Word  and OpenOffice.  It does sync your data online so you have access from any computer or mobile device.
