Credit your Sources!

by Sandra Sicard

I've shared this online tool with a few teachers, but as I see more and more students engrossed in research of one type or another, I am going to put it out there for all to use. It's Citation Machine, a simple tool for citing sources. A student (or teacher) can choose the style (APA, MLA, Chicago, or Turabian) of the citation; then Citation Machine asks him/her for all the required information. It works for both print and non-print (online) resources. At the end, the user clicks submit, and Citation Machine spits out the citation in a format that can be copied and pasted into a word processing document.
Try it out; let's make it easy for students to give credit where credit is due.
