Bibliography/Works Cited Tools & Help
Make use of the database citation tools to help keep track of and format your citations:
- America History and Life allows you to instantly format citations in MLA style and email them to yourself, or, export them into Endnote or RefWorks.
- JSTOR and Project Muse allow you to email all of the citation information you will need to format your citation, but won't do it for you.
- Attend a FREE Bibliography/Works Cited Software Library workshop on 2/19/09, 2pm, in the S&E Library. Send me an email if you would like to attend or learn more about these tools.
- Make use of the library's print copies of the MLA handbook or A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (Kate Turabian)
