Online Citation Tools


Whenever we use e-resources such as books, journals, or Web sites for any purpose, especially for research papers,we have to give credit to the original author by properly citing the sources. Citations also help the reader find the sources again. There are a number of different online citation management tools, citation styles, depending on the discipline in which we are working and help from librarians on citation formatting. The following links provide guidelines to using a variety of citation styles.

Its like you read my mind! You appear to understand so much
about this, such as you wrote the e book in it or something.
I think that you can do with a few percent to drive the message
home a bit, but instead of that, that is wonderful blog.
An excellent read. I will certainly be back.
