Word 2007 Can Help You Cite Your Sources!

This month, all the GU/MSB campus computers will be upgraded to Office 2007.

There's a new feature in Word 2007 that I think you'll be excited about. Word 2007 will help you keep track of your citations! It works with both APA and MLA citation styles. I've uploaded a printable, PDF guide to the library's website.

If you have any further questions about citing your sources, please ask your instructor or a librarian.

Do you need citation help?

You know the library databases are great for finding research, but did you know the library databases can help you create your bibliography too? That’s right! Whether you’re doing APA or MLA style, the library databases can put the article information into the proper format for you.

• In InfoTrac databases, click on the “citation tools” or “how to cite” buttons.
• In the ProQuest databases, click the “cite this” button.
• In EBSCOhost databases, click the “print,” “email,” or “save” buttons.

Don’t stress about your List of References or Works Cited! Let the databases help you make it easier to finish that research paper on time.

Here are some more websites to help you with your citations:
