APA Style Citation

Citation Within Library Databases

Many of the library resources such as databases, articles and newspapers have an easy citation button cite button  to help add the citation to the final section of our research papers called the bibliography. In each citation area, you can change the style guide function to APA, MLA, Chicago style or whatever style your professor prefers. Using the citation button says time and makes research sources easier to organize.
