If you need to create a long bibliography, or want software that will help you create in-text citations, we recommend looking at the RefWorks Legacy page.

Remember: It is always your responsibility to double-check that your citation is accurate! 

If you're not sure, double-check using one of the citation guides on this site.

When you're using the General Search or browsing library databases, keep an eye out for buttons like these. They will create a citation for you to use!  As always, it's your responsibility to check that the citation is correct.

Use these tools if you need to quickly create 1 or 2 citations.
