WRITER BEWARE: No citation generator is perfect. You are ultimately responsible for the proper citation of sources in your papers, so you will need to check and correct any citations created with any of these tools. Think of these tools as a starting point, not a replacement for learning how to create citations yourself. See the resources on the cite your sources page to learn about various citation styles. 

Library Databases

Almost all library databases have a citation feature that will create bibliographic citations following the style of your choice, which you can then copy and paste into your bibliography or email to yourself. Look for the word "Cite" next to the record for an individual item. It usually appears somewhere on the right side of the webpage.
