I need a tool to generate quick citations

Citation generators allow you to enter your source's bibliographic information (such as title and author for a journal article, web page, or book) in order to produce a citation in your selected format.

Please Note: Check the citations generated through all citation tools, which can make errors.

Most library databases have built-in citation generators that allow you to click on a "Cite" or "Citation Tools" button to get a suggested citation for that article or book. This includes OMNI and most other Databases.

Here is a selected list of citation generators:
