Sirois Links for Government and World History

Bibme (bibme.org) is even easier than other works cited generators such as Knight Cite.  Just a couple of things to keep in mind:

*Make sure to cite the correct type (book, magazine, web site, etc.) from tabs.
*For book, use ISBN when possible, as it will find the specific edition.
*Select the correct edition in results, then scroll down and click 
the button reading "add to my bibliography."
*You'll then have to scroll back UP, where citation will appear in upper right.

*IMPORTANT:  Make sure that CORRECT citation style is selected (on right hand side at bottom) from drop down list (for Government use APA style......for World History, use Chicago)
