EASY BIB for BIBLIOGRAPHIES, NOTECARDS AND OUTLINES

EasyBib is a source citation generator that helps guide students in creating MLA and APA citations. Creating citations can be easy. However, students will need to make sure that they recognize all the components that are needed in a proper citation. If unaware of the components to making a proper citation, there are many tools to look to for help such as the A Pocket Style Manual , the Library Edline Page, and the Purdue OWL. Students need to remember that EasyBib is helpful, but not perfect. Students may have to populate fields on their own in order to create a proper citation.

As a Saint Ignatius student, you will have the ability to create an account with EasyBib to build bibliographies and to create notecards and outlines. This will be a helpful tool for research papers. Listed below are several screencasts and videos that will provide directions for students on using EasyBib to the fullest potential.

Students will need to create an account with EasyBib. Creating an account will ensure saved citations, notecards, and outlines.
