Citation Machine

Citation Machine helps you to create a reference list in either MLA, APA, Turabian or Chicago format. All you have to do is pick a source you are citing, fill out the information about the source, and then you will be presented with a reference to cut and paste into your reference list.

OLinks Reference Formatter

This works similarly to the Citation Machine, except that it works for a few more styles in addition to MLA and APA. You can also access the reference formatter from the OLINKS (Find It) page when you are searching for journal articles.
