Use a web-based citation tool to seemlessly create and organize your own personal online filing cabinet of references and to create bibliographies.

On the Fly Citation Creation Tools

You can often get a reliable citation from a publication's record in Omni or in one of the library's licensed online indexes (e.g. PsycINfo, CINAHL); look for a "Citation" or "Cite" button when viewing your results.

Alternately, you can try on-the-fly citation creation tools. These are helpful for quickly creating a citation. The Library does not endorse or recommend any particular product. If you have any concerns or questions about the citations being created by these tools you should consult the proper style manual (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.) to verify the accuracy.
