All Classes: Citations Guides and Generators
While it might be a little late in the semester to post this, I still think this information will be helpful.
The question any English teacher gets the most from her students is: “How do I cite this?” And the easiest way to answer that question goes: “Figure out which style your teacher expects, find the appropriate style guide, look up the source, and then copy the example.”
If you’re looking for shortcuts – as students who are crunched for time often are – the following links might be useful.
MLA style citation guide – if you’re old tech, this website is quite handy. It condenses a lot of the information from the MLA style guide into a single page.
Easybib.com – this is a helpful website that creates different citations for the various citation styles. You choose the style you’re supposed to use, enter the information, and then the cite will create your bibliographic entry. If you use the generator, I strongly suggest you double check the citation against a style guide.
MLA Citation Generator – like Easybib.com, this website will generate citations for you… just only in MLA form. Again, double check your work.
The Bibliograph – If you know what a Boomarklet is, then you’ll find this helpful. Here’s the description: “Once it’s in your toolbar and you’ll be generating MLA bibliography entries on the fly from Amazon.com book pages and select types of Web sites.”
