Web Resources
There are interactive web sites you can use to create formatted citations. Generally, you type
in--or copy and paste--the information about your source (title, author, date, etc.), and the web site then creates a
formatted citation for you in MLA or APA style which you can then copy and paste into your paper. Try it out
with Landmark's Citation Machine or the Utah Academic Library Consortium's
Citation Tool.
