South Hadley High School Lyman Memorial Library

MyBib is an easy way to keep track of your sources, create citations, and generate a properly formatted works cited page.

To get started:

Log in using your school Google account.
At the top center box, select which citation style you're using. MLA 9 is the current default.
Click "Start New Project" in the upper left corner.
To add a new citation, click the green box that says "Add Citation."

When you're finished with your citations and ready to create a works cited page, click the blue box that says "Download Reference List" on the upper right corner. You can copy and paste or send it to your Google Drive - either way, the formatting will be done for you!

Creating a Citation in MyBib

To create a new citation, click the green box that says "Add Citation."

There are a few options: Website, Book, Journal, Video, or More. Choose the appropriate option. (Hint: you may need to click "More," particularly if you are citing a database article.) If you're just pasting a citation in, be sure to choose "Write/paste citation" under "More."
Note the fields highlighted in yellow - usually the author, title of article, date published, and container - the title of the database, website, book, etc. that contains the source you're citing. These fields are required. If they're not included in your source, skip them.
If you're citing anything on the Internet, click the slider icon next to the "Article is Online?" field, copy and paste the URL in the field underneath, and click "Today" underneath that in the "Date Accessed/Viewed" field.
An orange flag next to a field indicates possible grammatical errors. Hover over the flag and click "Fix" to correct them.
When you're done, click the blue box that says "Save" at the bottom. The citation will then appear in your list in alphabetical order.
