Citation Resources in Databases

Many of our article databases will help you format your citations by giving you a citation that you can copy and paste to your References page.

EBSCO databases (e.g., Academic Search Complete) - When you click the title of an article, look for the "Tools" on the right side and select "Cite."

ProQuest databases (e.g., Ethnic Newswatch) - After you have selected an article, click the "Cite" link at the top right above the article.

You should always double-check the results you get, since sometimes the citations need some clean-up.

You will find a couple of helpful citation guides.

One document is a great guide on how to do a search using EBSCO.
