Citation Generators

A citation generator is software that creates citations in many formats, including APA, MLA and Chicago. All of the library databases have a citation tool that will create a citation in many formats.  Look for the word "cite" or quotation marks (") in the databases.  If you are using the World Wide Web for some of your research sources, you can use one of many freely available citation generators.  One citation generator that is easy to use is ZoteroBib.
