Creating a bibliography easily – what a concept!

Recently, I have been working with students on the dreaded research paper.  We used an Internet tool to create citations for the bibliiography.  www.citationmachine.net was much easier to use than the bibliography-maker in Word 2007.  You do need to take some time explaining the difference between different kinds of sources, but the format allows students to see what’s needed and fill in the blanks. Then they cut and paste into their bibliography – and we know that students know how to cut and paste. 

 You may wish to share this tool with your students.

You will then need to click on Creating your bibliography using Citation Machine  (as the website doesn’t support a direct link to the document).
