Citation Resources by Susan Baxter https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u What resource(s) would you share with your library users to help them correctly cite their sources. en-us 2017-06-27 23:48:01 UTC 2017-07-07 03:13:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Sue Scanlon suescanlon https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177599294 http://libraryguides.medaille.edu/apa/apacitationexamples
I like this example because it is easy to see how to format the citation according to all different situations.]]> 2017-06-27 23:51:02 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177599294 Kristy Livingston kristylivingston13 https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177609384 http://www.easybib.com/
I feel like this website takes the guessing out of citations!

I am a new fan of http://www.bibme.org/.   To me, it seems like the simplest citation "machine" I have found.  This is what I used for the screencast exercise.  I read that it was started in 2007 by and for students, so hopefully it is nearly foolproof!    ]]> 2017-06-29 13:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177743504 Patricia McIvor https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177835846 I love love love APA OWL.  It covers virtually every possible source, from books to YouTube videos to websites to conversations/interviews. I use it all the time, and I recommend it to patrons frequently.  There's also a version for MLA.]]> 2017-06-30 18:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177835846 Elizabeth Thompson https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177836590 The site I most frequently recommend to my students is the Purdue OWL site. When my high school students used citation generators like Easybib, there were ALWAYS errors because they don't know what information is supposed to be included which is why I would recommend OWL rather than a citation generator. My district also uses Noodletools which does require a subscription. This is effective because it still prompts students to look for the information that they need for a correct citation so that they're not just cutting and pasting. It also links notes to the appropriate source and generates a works cited page. ]]> 2017-06-30 18:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177836590 Cassie Skobrak https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177868155 I have been a huge fan of Purdue Owl for years. When I began the GSLIS program, I had never used APA format before -- Purdue Owl became my go-to when I was unsure of how to format citations in my reference list or in-text. It's also very user-friendly and easy to navigate. I've experimented with some citation generator sites (such as citation machine) but have often had to make revisions to the citations that they come up with, so I would be hesitant to recommend something like this to someone who is new to citing sources.]]> 2017-07-01 18:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177868155 Tricia Carlin https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/177998168 Purdue OWL is a free website that covers so much information with regard to citing sources, and writing in general!  I have referred to this website for two years now, since I began the GSLIS program.  Purdue University’s OWL website covers the APA and MLA formats for citations and references (also the Chicago Manual of Style and the American Medical Association formats).  There really is a lot of information here, even advice on applying to graduate school and getting letters of recommendation.  Plagiarism.org is a thorough resource about plagiarism that would be helpful to teachers and students alike.

I like it because you do have to create your citations yourself so you are learning how to do it by using the information provided, not just putting in information and getting an automatic response without really knowing how to cite sources.  ]]> 2017-07-04 14:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178036945 Helen O'Hara https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178041047 My first thought was Purdue Owl to give library users research and citation resources, because it was where I first learned about MLA in high school.  At the time, it was generally perceived as one of the more reputable resources.  But I tend to use EasyBib if patrons (especially children and young adults) ask about research.  EasyBib is user-friendly and not as verbose as Purdue.  I think if we present citing sources as a simple, run-of-the-mill type of task wherein you simply plug some names into a generator, it normalizes digital citizenship and avoids a potentially intimidating or confusing discussion about the philosophy behind citing sources and instilling a fear of plagiarisim.   It's like how in Worcester, we all use the same yellow city trash bags.  Because they're so easy to obtain (you can get them at any grocery store, convenience store or even liquor store), it's a normal thing we all just do.]]> 2017-07-04 15:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178041047 Carol Derosier https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178052671 https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
I like the Perdue Owl website. I think it is a great resource for the APA and MLA format. I would recommend it to any patron who needs help with correctly citing their sources. I have used this resource many times and feel that it is a valuable one.

Easybib.com and Purdue OWL. Purdue OWL is a great all around resource that has been recommended to me by my own teachers for many years, it is a great all around source for both MLA and APA which have been the styles I have made the most use of and that I have had most patrons coming in with questions about. I find that Easybib is a great introduction to citations and creating them in an easy less intimidating way. ]]> 2017-07-05 21:39:42 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178138851 Melissa Clapprood mbur1844 https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178139972
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/lesson/how-cite-site-6-8  
Common Sense Media has a great lesson plan to do with the students.  While it is not necessarily a site I would have them visit to learn how to cite the sources, I would use the lesson plan and its accompanying resources.  There are printouts you can use, which prompt the students to fill in the blanks to cite their websites and it gives examples which break down the process in a way that is easy for 3rd to 5th graders to understand.   This should bring you to the actual PDF:

I favor this citing tool because in addition to free MLA citation, this tool offers free APA citation. Websites such as easybib.com charge to create citations in APA. Another reason I like citation machine is because it offers nine different citation styles ranging from MLA to APA to Chicago to Turabian. It is also easy to use and allows a variety of resources to be easily cited. ]]> 2017-07-06 12:35:25 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178189410 Emily Versteeg https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178200841 I really love Purdue Owl. I know some classmates think it's a bit too comprehensive for some audiences, but that's why I like it: it's complete. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/]]> 2017-07-06 15:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178200841 Lari Rega larirega https://padlet.com/suescanlon/a6abtf2waw7u/wish/178207413 https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
Like a lot of my classmates, my go to website for teaching citations is Purdue Owl, as it is all encompassing in its scope.,

APA - https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

MLA - https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/

I use both because I come from a literature background where we always used MLA but in this program we use APA. While I like the main sites also, I think for quick reference the Purdue sites are very convenient.

APA - http://www.apastyle.org/

MLA - https://style.mla.org/

It is simple and tells you exactly what information you need to plug in to create the citation. It offers several different options for formats such as MLA and APA.
