WHAT IS IT?
EasyBib is a free bibliography and citation maker. College professors claim it is more accurate than NoodleTools and prefer EasyBib. Its use is very similar to NoodleTools.
HOW TO DO IT:
-- First time users click on Register in the upper right corner and create an account with a user name and a password that you alone must remember. These are the only 2 pieces of information required to create an account. After this initial registration, just click on Login in the upper right. However it is not necessary to create an account if you have all your sources and are ready to print them.
-- Then click on the tab of the type of citation you wish to create: website, book, newspaper, journal, database (or all 58 options and choose another citiation type.)
-- You can manually enter all information for your source but it is much easier to copy and paste information suggested in the Autocite box. Tips: for website use the web address, for book use the ISBN found on the back of the title page. You can then look for the suggested source that matches yours and all the typing is done for you!
-- Then just simply add in the missing information in the outlined red boxes and click Create Citation.
-- When you have all your sources (or click Save for Later if you have more to find), then click Save as a Word Doc. It will open in Word and you can save and/or print.
WHAT TO DO WITH IT:
Use EasyBib to cite all sources you use in your research. Create and print a separate Works Cited page to attach to the end of a research paper. Open the bibliography and copy and paste the citations to the end of a PowerPoint presentation or PhotoStory 3 slideshow. It is important to always cite your sources correctly. If you want more information on how to city your sources, click on Citation Guide in the blue bar.
