The library databases have a Cite button that will do your Reference entry for you. BUT, they do come with a warning that tells you to double check before you use them. As with online citation generators, they can have errors. We will show you how to use the Cite button and where to find the information so you can check that it is correct. The citation button is a great shortcut, as long as you can spot the errors!
Here is an example from an EBSCO database. Some of the article information is at the top of the page. You may have to scroll down a bit to find the volume, issue, and page numbers.
Most citation generators mess up on the capitalization of the article title. Can you spot the error?
