What is the easiest way to cite a resource provided by the library?

Answer

The Ebsco Discovery Service has a built in citation generator for all resources the library has access to, even print books!

To find a citation, search for the title of your item using Discovery. When you have located the item, click the menu to the right of the title and select "Cite."

In the citation generator window, select the citation style you need from the dropdown menu and then click "Copy to Clipboard" to copy the citation.

Remember to check the citation against your teacher's instructions. There are occasionally mistakes in the metadata! In the example above the author is listed twice, which is incorrect.
