UTA's Teacher Induction

This site generates a proper APA or MLA bibliography for your students after they enter the appropriate information. It also includes a place for them to take notes, which could take the place of paper note cards if you like. It has a learning curve, but it is much better than the old school way of trying to figure out where the period goes, what space you need where, etc… Have students use the same password because they will forget it!

You’ll want to teach your students that there are better ways of researching than “googling.” This is a list of website for academic research, including many free sites. I especially like www.googlescholar.com, which provides much more reliable source results than the regular Google search.
