Why should I care about copyright?

See the UST Copyright website for answers.

BibMe Bibliography Maker

Simple free online source.

• Sign up is free.
• If you sign up, it saves your previous bibliographies.
• If you do not sign up it does not save your search nor the bibliography you create.

Which should you use?

Ask each of your professors which style they want you to use. If they have no preference you can follow and of these style, although most of our Seminary students are asked to use either the MLA or Turabian Style Manuals.

• APA: psychology, education, and other social sciences.
• MLA: literature, arts, and humanities.
• AMA: medicine, health, and biological sciences.
• Turabian: designed for college students to use with all subjects.
• Chicago: used with all subjects in the "real world" by books, magazines, newspapers, and other non-scholarly publications.

Print versions of these style manuals contain examples of citing more sources than these web pages do, as well as other things you may need to know, such as margins, font size, etc.

I like the "Long Island University Library Guide" as it is "COLOR CODED"
