Here is another easy-to-use product to help you format citations. It’s called EasyBib. “Bib” is short for bibliography.
For MLA, it is free. For APA, you have to subscribe and pay a fee. It is not from HCT databases; rather it is on the Internet. The URL is : www.easybib.com
You have many options, for example, Book, Online Database, Website
For a book, enter the ISBN, a 10 or 13 digit number which is the book’s ID #. If you don’t have the ISBN, enter the other information. Be careful with spelling and capital letters. Click : Next

Ask your teacher or your friendly librarian if you have any questions. I hope this helps you write a Bibliography or Reference List.
