Library Services for EWU @ Bellevue College

Many of our article databases and the EWU Library Catalog have a citation generator. Accuracy varies. You still need to know your style, but it's certainly easier to copy/paste the MLA citation and correct any errors.

EWU Library Catalog

Click the quotation mark icon  then choose MLA. Note: The author format isn't consistently accurate, and it doesn't include URLs to the full article. 

EBSCOhost Databases

You need to be viewing the full record (click on the hyperlinked title), then click the Cite button on the far right. You can also have the citation included in the record emailed to you by choosing Include when sending: Citation Format, and choose MLA. On rare occasions, I've seen the author in ALLCAPS because that's how it was in the EBSCOhost record.

JSTOR

Click the Cite button on the right side if you are viewing the results list, or the Cite this item button on the left if you are viewing the article in full. Ask your professor if you need to include the date you accessed the article.

Project MUSE

You need to be viewing the full article or book (click on the title, or View), then look for the link View Citation.

Step One - Know what citation style your professor wants you to use!

APA

Chicago

Turabian

A citation manager acts as a repository for all of your research. It not only stores your research, but it will also help you create bibliographies and in-text citations in virtually any citation style.

EWU Libraries discontinued subscribing to RefWorks. We recommend using two free citation managers: Mendeley or Zotero. Mendeley is used primarily by STEM departments, while Zotero can generate citations in over 10,000 styles!

Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is a free citation manager that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, and it connects with your web browser to download sources.

Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.
