Research and Documentation Online, OWL at Purdue, and Sources, are some of the most comprehensive online resources covering topics related to the research and writing process, citation, and plagiarism. They all include examples of different citation styles.

For more in depth information about citing electronic and online sources, Citation Styles is a useful guide, but you can find more specific examples on the MLA Guidelines website and on the APA Electronic References site.

Online Citation Generators can help you in working with citations, but keep in mind that you are responsible for their accuracy in your paper and you should always review the online generated citations.

BibMe generates citations in MLA, APA, or Chicago style.

KnightCite automatically creates MLA, APA, or Chicago style citations for many varieties of source types.

DocsCite generates APA and MLA citations for government publications.

Bibliographic Managers are specialized tools that allow you to store and organize bibliographic citations from which you can then create bibliographies. Zotero is an open source bibliographic manager that works with your Firefox web browser. It automatically captures citation information from a wide variety of web sites, library catalogs, and databases.

If you have questions on citing sources or using bibliographic tools, please contact the Reference Librarian.
