Citation tracking & advice

Look for the Cite button when using the library databases to find a citation you can copy to your project logbook or preliminary list of sources.
Grab the permalink to find an article quickly.
Use Citation guides to double check your bibliography is properly formatted.

Please note: Librarians and other library staff can help you find examples and sample citations that you can model your citations on, but we cannot copy-edit or 'correct' your citations or your writing for you.
