How to Cite
When working on a large research project, it may be helpful to use a citation management system such as Zotero (available on the web). For smaller projects, it is often quicker to learn how to compose an accurate citation without using a citation generator, such as EasyBib, BibMe, Citation Machine, etc.
You can find citation style guides on the first floor of the library in the Reference Collection area.
