Citing Resources: Citation Generators & Managers

April 2020

Citation Generators

The AUL catalog and most databases have built-in citation generators providing APA, Chicago, and MLA styles.

Look for a "Cite" or "Citation" button: 

Other ways to capture, organize, and use citations are through dedicated software, apps, and browser extensions. See resources for RefWorks, Zotero, and Mendeley below.

When using an automatic citation generator, it's good practice to double-check that the citation contains all elements called for by the style guide. Questions? Ask us!
