Citing Sources

So much of what we share online is shared freely, simply because there’s so much of it out there and it’s so easy to do. Therefore it’s good practice for us to continue educating students in the old homily “credit where credit is due.”

Here are some easy-to-use digital citizenship resources that can assist both teachers and students with the process of creating bibliography citations. These are generally sites where you can copy information into the task bar, and the bibs are generated automatically.

• EasyBib—This is likely the most well-known tool for generating bibliography entries. EasyBib has lots of options for citations and is very easy to operate. Use it for citations from books, websites, articles, and tons of other choices.
