Some would say that life is just plain better with technology.  You can be the judge for yourself.  But if you are an adult professional who still takes the occasional graduate class you probably also have to write the occasional paper too.  Today's technology tip is one that can help you the next time you have to write one of those bibliographies or works cited pages.

Do you remember flipping through those pages of the APA and MLA format guideline books?  Struggling to figure out whether or not you put a period at the end of the title of a Newspaper article.  You'll probably be thrilled to find out that there are several websites out there that will format your citations for you.  Check these sites out:

And if you'd like to buy a professional program that does this try checking out:  http://www.endnote.com/

If you teach students how to create bibliographies and you've never seen these sites before you might be hyperventilating by now.  "How will they ever learn how to properly make a bibliography if they have sites like this?"  All I can assure you of is that students will find these sites and they will use them if given the opportunity.  It's up to their teachers to be aware of these sites and be prepared to honestly talk to them about them. 

PRACTICE ACTIVITY:  Try using one of the above links to create a couple of citations.
