MLA formatting for correct citation of your sources for research papers and projects has gotten easier with the Easybib app for Iphone and Android.  If you are not familiar with it already, Easybib.com is a free online bibliography and citation maker.  This website makes citing books, websites, databases, and images a breeze.   Gone are the days of meticulously checking every period and comma.  Now, researchers can focus on the content and the information needed to create the citation.

To make citing books EVEN EASIER, there is now a free Easybib app that you can download. With this app, you can scan a book barcode, and a citation for that book will generate automatically!  Remember, if you use specific page numbers you will have to manually enter that information.  Your friendly HHS librarians are, as always, here to help you if you have any questions or issues with this website or the app.  It's definitely an app we love!
