Citation Tools

 * **[|Easy Bib] **: An online tool that is easy to use. It is up to date with the latest edition of MLA style (7th ed.). You just need to be sure you enter the right information in the right place. A nice feature is the ability to edit citations. Drawback: You have to pay extra for APA citations.
 * **[|End Note] **: A software tool you can download for free from Ball State. It integrates with Microsoft Word.
 * M**icrosoft Word**: The MLA formatting is out of date in Word, and I find the references tool more trouble than it is worth. I would avoid it.
 * **Academic Search Premier**: For articles you find through the database, there is a an easy-to-use and correct "cite" tool. The easiest tool of all.
 * **Wadsworth Guide to Research**: Old school. Even if you use any of the automated tools above, you should check the output against the examples in the book to make sure they are correct.

All students can get help with writing and revision at the Writing Center. Writing Center tutors can help you with your writing at any stage of the writing process, including invention, drafting, revision, and editing. The Writing Center is located on the second floor of the Robert Bell building, room 291.
