*NOTE: ONLY use this for WEBSITES and print resources. The DATABASES on FISH FOR INFO provide citations for you.
*If you are using a website simply copy your URL into the bar and a citation will be created.
If you are using a book, you'll need to type in the ISBN# (usually found on the back of the book or above/below the bar code). This ensures you have the right version of the book.
Remember that although this is a good tool, it is not perfect. You need to add any information you have that may be missing and/or adjust format at times.
