I found that the assistance in knowing what to identify in the sources and eliminating the time-consuming formatting was beneficial. I even paid for the subscription before it became EasyBib EDU. Now that they ended the EasyBib EDU accounts, all of our school gMails cannot use EasyBib, even the free version. <div><br></div><div>I am looking for suggestions of alternative citation tools. I can tell you that <b>I have already tried</b> the following options:</div><div><ul><li><b>BibMe, Citation Machine, CiteThisForMe</b> are all Chegg services (like EasyBib) so the difficulties in "free" registration after creating two citations are not worth the hassle--forcing registration for premium services in order to "complete" registration, the inability to get the ad-blocker to stop popping up on Chrome, etc. My browser keeps getting caught in an endless loop. Has anybody else figured out how to get out of this loop?</li><li>I tried the <b>EasyBib Add-on</b> for Google Docs. While it does do a quick citation for website and book, if there are any errors in the auto-cite, you cannot fix it. Even if you fix it on the doc, it returns to the incorrect entry every time you add a new reference to your bibliography manager. If I add a manual citation from our database to my doc, it also disappears when you add a new source to the EasyBib manager. Thus, students would still have to have multiple documents open to cut and paste citations back and forth.</li><li>I looked at <b>EndNote, ProCite, Reference Manager, and RefWorks,</b> since our Gale databases will export to those services, but they all appear to be much more geared to graduate students or researchers, not junior high and high school students.</li><li>I did a preview of <b>NoodleTools</b> last spring, but there were way more writing tools than we are interested in. We just want a citation service.</li><li>We already use <b>Purdue OWL and MLA</b>'s site for verifying citations, we are just looking for something that assists with pulling the data in auto-cite.</li></ul><div>TIA,</div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="m_-6602684066339513948gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Jeanne Brucher<br>Teacher-Librarian<br><a href="mailto:jbrucher@geneseoschools.org" target="_blank">jbrucher@geneseoschools.org</a><br>Geneseo Middle School (309) 945-0524<br>Geneseo High School (309) 945-0316<br></div><div dir="ltr"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/geneseoschools.org/uc?id=0B5tDF2qUQs2bcjhXYjJraUJtdlk&export=download" width="96" height="95"><img src="https://docs.google.com/a/geneseoschools.org/uc?id=0B5tDF2qUQs2bcE1QWkw4UTRCVDQ&export=download" width="94" height="96"><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
