EasyBib for the Science Fair

Today, I would like to introduce you to EasyBib, which is a very easy way to create citations for your Science Fair Project:

http://www.easybib.com/

The website looks like this…. First, choose the type of resource you need to cite.  In this case, I'd like to cite a website.

As an example, the website I chose was the US Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service's Ideas for Science Fair projects.

I copied and pasted the URL (entire web address) in the space provided.  At this point, Easybib will let you know if your website is a credible source (and YES, having a credible resource is an important thing):

Next, Easybib will take you to a screen, where you will need to fill in more specific information about your website - but fear not, it gives you hints: 

Be sure to include the article title:

And if someone is identified as an author, be sure to include this:

And the complete name of the website:

And leave out the URL box:

At the bottom of the page, click on "Create Citation"

Now you will have a perfect MLA citation:

So, save it to Google Docs/Drive: (you must allow access):

And this is how your citation will appear in your Google Drive menu:

And how it will appear in your document:

Be sure to rename the document so you can find it later:

Today, we will practice citing the resources you have saved in Google Docs using EasyBib.
