Why citations are important

Citation Generators and Bibliographic Managers

The library's Summon search, as well as many of its research databases, have built-in citation generators for creating citations and permanent folders for saving your search results.

In Summon, look for the quotation marks next to the result in the search results list. Be sure to select the appropriate citation style from the drop-down.

Use the tool to copy and paste the entries into your reference list, but make sure to double-check for accuracy and completion. Consult the Library's citation guides when you are preparing your final draft to make sure the formatting and details are correct.

For a free bibliographic manager and citation generator, consider using Zotero. The library has a guide for installing and getting started using Zotero on your own device.
