December 6th--Research Writing, Citations

I. To create your bibliography,

• First, create an account on EasyBib.
• Then, open your Diigo Library. 
• For each source you will use for your research, copy and paste the url into EasyBib.
• Complete any blank entries for your source information (EasyBib doesn’t catch everything)

Paste your completed bibliography into a post that will later be your research paper.  When you are done writing it, your bibliography will go at the end.

II. To cite your work in the text of your writing:
After using information from one of your sources, include a citation in parentheses.
The citation will be whatever comes first in your bibliography entry for that source.  Either:
      (The Author’s Last Name)
      (“The Title of the Article”)
      (The Title of the Site)
**If you want to see an example of what this should look like, check out Carol’s post here.
