The majority of the Library's e-resources can generate a single citation for you.

Places to look for the Cite Button or other Citation Tools in E-Resouces:

• The right-hand menu on the article abstract page.
• At the top of the results list.
• Immediately under each citation in the results list.
• At the very bottom of an article or article abstract page.

This is a selection of other citation generators & tools that can help you create citations and manage bibliographies.  Remember, though, that no online citation generator is 100% accurate.  Please be sure to check your citations to make sure that they're correct!
