Use EBSCO to create a Bibliographic Citation

Does RefWorks seem like too many steps when you only need one or two or three citations in the MLA (or APA or Turbian) format? EBSCO has added a new feature that transforms your article's information into the citation format that you need when you save, email or print an article.

  1. When you click on the print (or email or save) icon and the print-email-save manager screen will open.
  2. On the gray shaded area to the right, under "Include when...printing-sending-saving:" Select the "Industry Citation Format" radio button and then using the drop-down menu, select the citation format.
  3. Complete the rest of the screen to print, send or save.
  4. Depending on the format chosen, you will see a heading called "Works Cited" "Reference List" or "References" in the printout (or email or saved file).
  5. If you emailed or saved the article, you can cut-and-paste the citation into your document.
