Are there any citation tools that can create and/or save my citations for me?
Answer
Zotero
You don't have to create all of your citations from scratch! Zotero is a tool that helps you create citations from online sources and insert them into your reference list/works cited page. More information about this software can be found on this guide's Zotero page. Information about how to install and use Zotero is available here: https://library.csueastbay.edu/citation/zotero
Quick Citations Using Libraries' citation tool
You can also use the libraries' website to get a jump start on citations. Watch our Citations video on how to use the citation tool built into the libraries' website to generate citations. Always review auto-generated citations to make sure the citation is both accurate and complete. Many library databases also have a citation generator built in.
