Infobite: Database Citation Feature

This is part of the Infobite Series: Bites of Information from the MCC Library:

Many of the library subscription databases have a citation feature that will cite in MLA, APA, and, frequently, other styles. While these citations are not always perfect, they’re pretty good and quite a time saver.

In the EBSCO databases, you can find a citation through several functions in the right hand frame: the Print, E-mail, and Cite functions. In ProQuest, click on Cite above the article. Look around in other databases to find their citation features!

For more info on citing, see our Citing Sources page that is attached to all of our Research Guides.
