About Bibliography Tools: These tools are wonderful aides when students have to create especially long works cited documents, for example, my English 123 College Research course requires a 25 source annotated bibliography; therefore, such a tool makes that assignment much more manageable for students.

For short works cited; however, students should know how to create the document using a handbook. Before students turn to a bibliography tool, they should fully understand how determine first what type of source they are working with so that they make the correct choices in the tool. In order to choose the correct citation template in any of the tools, students must be able to determine what kind of source they are trying to crete a citation for. For example, did they find their journal article through a an online database such as EBSCO Host or UNC's library catalog Summon?

Probably the best advantage to using a bibliography tool is it ability to create a document using the proper format, which can ordinarily be a miserable, tedious chore. Students, then, should use their favorite tool with their handbook along side.
