Online citations generators remove some of the frustration involved in creating citations. A citation generator is an online tool in which you enter citation information (author, title, database etc.) and the program creates a citation formatted in a specific style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.).
However, citation generators are not always accurate. This is why we still teach you how to recognize what a correct MLA citation looks like and how to double-check it for errors; this way, if the generator is incorrect, you will be able to spot that there is a problem. Use citation generators with a critical eye. Review results.
Instructions:
1. Find an article on a website related to something you are learning about in another class.
2. Write a 2-4 sentence summary of the article. What is the article about? What are it’s main points? Don’t just copy and paste part of the article, I want to see you summarize it in your own words.
3. Create a webpage citation using MyBib (連結到外部網站。).
Double check to make sure the citation is correct!
A webpage citation should look like this:
Author. “Webpage Title.” Website Name, Publisher Name (omit if the same as the website name), Publication date, www.resourceURL.com
4. Copy and Paste the correct webpage citation as your answer for this assignment.
Example: Here is what the citation for the FactCheck.org webpage looks like:
Schipani, Vanessa. “The Facts on Chlorpyrifos.” FactCheck.org, edited by Lori Robertson and Robert Farley, Annenberg Public Policy Center, 27 Apr. 2017, www.factcheck.org/2017/04/the-facts-on-chlorpyrifos/. Accessed 21 Sept. 2017.
