Formated APA, MLA & Chicago Citations

 The UI&U Library provides a variety of resources to help our researchers gather, store, and cite research information.  We provide free access to two citation formatting tools: Google Scholar and Zotero.  The Google Scholar Cite Tool includes preformatted APA, MLA, and Chicago citations that you can copy and paste into your bibliography.  Zotero is a more complex tool that allow you to create a personal library of citations and switch between citation styles.  In addition, the UI&U Library Help Center provides citation examples for the APA, Chicago, and MLA styles: 

•    Citation Tools (Google Scholar and Zotero)
•    APA Citation Examples
•    Chicago Citation Examples
•    MLA Citation Examples

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
