Create-a-Bibliograpy and Citation Guides

Each source used in a research paper or project must be correctly documented (cited).  These tools will help you to format your sources into a bibliography in the styles preferred by most instructors (either MLA or APA). Please note that these Web sites are not affiliated with the College, therefore, we will not be able to resolve any difficulties you may encounter when using these tools.  There are other styles not covered here.  Always check with your instructor regarding the correct style to follow.

This site will create bibliographic entries from books, newspaper, periodical and journal articles, web sites, e-mails or interviews. Enter the information and the "citation machine" will show you the entry in both MLA and APA style.
