One more reason to love WorldCat
November 4, 2008
Working on a research paper? Want to search for sources while letting the Internet Gods create your stylized bibliography for you ? Check out the Build a Bibliography link on WorldCat. While you search for books, you can create a list and get citations in five common formats. (You can even export your bibliography to EndNote or RefWorks, if you like.)
Also, check out my post for more about how to exploit WorldCat.

“Ready Reference” materials are resources you might use to look something up quickly. For instance, an encyclopedia or a citation style guide. We have a number of useful tools just behind the reference desk, which include (but are not limited to):
- Style Manuals (how to write papers, citations & create bibliographies);
- Foreign language dictionaries;
- Congressional directories;
- Resources on colleges & universities;
- Business & industry guides;
- A copy of the bible;
- The Encyclopedia of Philosophy;
- Who’s Who;
- World News Digest, Facts on File;
- And a bagillion other statistics & facts!
Please bring a photo ID to the desk to check out these resources.
