Built-in Library Tools
When searching the Flaxman Library's resources, there are often built in tools that can create a citation for you. It is beneficial to look for autogenerated citation options when you find articles or media inside individual databases (like JSTOR). Alternatively, if you're using the library search, you can autogenerate citations for any items you find using the quote icon attached to each record (see graphic below).
Style manuals prescribe a format to be used for papers and citations, and are often discipline-based. Below are some resources to acquaint you with the styles most commonly used at SAIC. Currently enrolled students may also make appointments at the Writing Center for help with citations.
