Most databases have tools that create citations in several formats, such as APA, MLA and Turabian. Try the tools listed below to copy/paste/edit citations, as needed to match your assignment requirements. Always check the citation references for accuracy with the print style manual and your professor's requirements.

Creating and using the EBSCOhost folder account is an efficient way to store and manage database information. Click the Sign In or Folder links at the top of the EBSCO page. Log in or click Create a New Account and complete the form. You can also sign in with Google.

• Articles added to your EBSCO folder are retained until you delete them.
• Your EBSCO folder can be accessed and used in any EBSCO database (Academic Search Complete, EagleSearch, etc.).
• To save articles in your personalized folder you must "Sign In" when you are in EBSCOhost.
• Articles added to your EBSCOhost folder can be accessed and read from any computer, on or off campus.

For a single citation in an EBSCO database, click the article title to access the detailed record. Click the "cite" button in the right toolbar then choose the recommended style. (The "Tools" menu is only available on the detailed item record; it is not on the results page.) Copy, paste, and edit the citation to match the required citation style and your professor's requirements.

NOTE: When editing an MLA citation, change EBSCOhost to the database name, such as Academic Search Complete.

The EBSCO Folder is a personal information management tool to save articles, save searches, create citations lists, write notes, and more. Create a folder then sign in to your folder. Note: Items added to the default folder are NOT saved. You must be logged into your EBSCO folder to save items.

For multiple citations use the EBSCO folder:

1. Add articles to your folder, then click Folder at the top of the page.
   In the folder:
2. Click checkboxes to mark items to be cited.
3. Click the Print icon (in the right toolbar).
   In the Print Manager window:
4. Uncheck HTML Full Text and Search History boxes, if showing and checked.
5. Choose a Citation Format.
6. Click Print (items are reformatted for printing). Cancel the print, then save or copy/paste/edit the citations.

An alternative to the EBSCO folder is saving your articles on Google Drive. Use the link in the right sidebar of the article detailed record.
