[nabs-l] Citation Sites

[Sami Osborne]

Hi all,

I don't if you guys realized this, but there's a cool feature " 
Microsoft Word where you can either copy-paste or manually enter 
the name of a web page,  as well as cite and source it.  If 
you're using the ribbons, (either real or virtual,) you can 
scroll down to citations and bibliographies (which, if you press 
the left or right arrow keys, is located in the references tab), 
then click on manage sources, then tab down to create new source.  
There, you'll find all the text fields and selection lists that 
you'll need to fill in to create your citation.  For example, it 
will ask you if you want it to be the name of a website, book, or 
any other kind of document from a variety of selections.  It will 
also ask you if you want to do it in APA or MLA, the date, 
author, publisher, name of URL, (or title if it's a book or other 
document), etc.
I learned about this feature last year from my technology 
instructor at the blindness training center that I went for my 
gap year between high school and college.  My instructor felt 
that it was really important for me to learn about this feature 
in Word as it would strongly help and benefit me in college.

I hope you're all enjoying the start to your college semesters.

Thanks,

Sami

For me, I think it kind of depends on what it is I'm siding.  If 
you are trying to cite a peer-reviewed article, you may be able 
to search for it on Google scholar.  If you scroll down after the 
link to the article, they will be a site button you click on that 
and then click on the link for the citation style you want to, 
and give you the citation.  If you were trying to cite a book or 
something similar to that, Purdue online writing Lab might be the 
best option.

 Hello everyone,
 I hope you are doing well.  I am curious to know which websites 
you use in
 order to cite materials and create bibliographies.  A professor 
of mine
 recommended Zotero, but I am not entirely sure how 
accessible/usable it is
 with JAWS.  Currently, I am using RefWorks, with seems to work 
fine.  Thoughts
 appreciated.
 Cheers,
 Caitlin
