Need Help with Citations??

Students lately have been needing assistance with citations both in-text and on the "works cited" page of their essay. Well WORRY NO MORE...
There is a wonderful website that can help you cite your sources from books, websites/pages, an encyclapedia or magazine and much more!
Go to www.citationmachine.net, simply choose the format that your paper must be written in and then choose what type of source your docement is. You will then answer all questions asked, submit your documents information and then copy and paste your new citation to your essay's works cited page...if you have any questions call the Writing Studio at OCtech!

Good job on this post, David. It really helps to have a written record of the processes we follow in the studio and the ways in which we try to help students.

Thanks!

Citationmachine.net is a wonderful resource.

Many of the library's databases now provide citations with articles. Almost all of the Gale databases under Infotrac (behind the DISCUS button on the Library's home page) provides complete citations in APA and MLA. All you have to do it copy and paste on to your works cited page.

The library's electronic databases are available on campus and off campus. For off campus use, usernames and passwords are available on Campus Cruiser. Go to Campus Cruiser and see the first announcement under CAMPUS NEWS for directions to access the usernames and passwords.

Happy researching and writing!
