Most of the Library's online databases include Citation Tools to help get you started.
Different databases may display the Citation Tool a little differently. When you are looking at the article on your screen, look for these symbols either down the right side bar or across the top of the screen.
Remember: Even with these handy database citation tools, always review each individual citation to be sure of correct spelling and that all the necessary information is correctly included in your citations.
