Instructify

These days it’s hardly appropriate to refer to a works cited page as a “bibliography.” Books? Sure they still make the list, but non-print resources are taking over. As nice as it is that your students don’t have to find a ride to the public library before they can get started on their projects, the variety of accessible information has wreaked havoc on their works cited pages. Getting the MLA formatting right was hard enough in our day when we only had to remember one or two formulas and all the information we needed was guaranteed to be on the first few pages of a text. Now… well, now your students deserve a little help, and EasyBib can provide.

EasyBib is similar to other bibliography-generating programs like Citation Machine – plug in the type of source and as much identifying info as you can gather, and poof: in a deus ex machina move, you get order from chaos. What sets this site apart from the other programs is that it has a fairly exhaustive list of source types to choose from: e-mail, cartoon, lecture, dictionary, advertisement…72 options in all.

So unless your students are referencing wiretaps, esp, or smoke signals, EasyBib has got their citation needs covered.-MARIELLE PRINCE
