Google Citations

Click here for instructions for inserting in-text citations and a bibliography into your Google Doc in MLA, APA, or Chicago (author-date) style. I am impressed with how easy these citations are to insert into your document. I suggest using this feature for books and websites. I am still on the fence for databases because most of the databases that we subscribe to already have the source citation in the correct format (MLA, APA, etc.) That just requires an easy copy and paste. However, if you want to use the in-text citation feature (which is awesome), then that requires the student to input the information into Google Citations. I suppose I'll let y'all play around with it for a few weeks and decide.
