Databases make citing your sources a lot easier! Most databases have a "Citation Tools" or "Cite" button that automatically generates a citation in multiple formats. If you use other sources, such as print materials or websites, you must build your citations from scratch. Online citation generators are helpful, but they are often incomplete, so it is necessary to check for completion and correctness (Purdue OWL MLA Formatting and Style Guide is a great resource for citations!).
