Citations
Some library databases have citation creation functionality. While these citations can be helpful, they are machine-generated and are not immune from errors. Machine-generated citations should always be checked carefully, and corrections made as needed. The library assumes no responsibility for any errors in formatting. Citation creation is the responsibility of the student.
