Part III. Bibme for Creating a Bibliography
This is the easiest bibliography maker I've found.
You can use it for our purposes without registering.
You need to register if you want to use all the features, but that's free. You don't need to register for our purposes.
Important Note: You do not need to use bibme for
BRC, World Book, or SIRS!
You will need to use it for other EBSCO sources or sources your find using other search engines.
Try it. When you first get to it, you need to click on the orange
tab in the center for "Website."
Directions:
1. As you are researching, save the URL for each site you find useful.
2. When you get to the site bibme.org, click on the middle tab marked "website."
3. Copy the URL (in the address bar) for the site you are taking information from.
4. Paste it in the space on bibme. Make sure you've erased the extra http:// first.
4. Click on "Load Info."
5. Look on the website you want to use for a sponsor or publisher and date created. You can often find that information at the bottom of the page. The sponsor/publisher will not be a company that does web design. It will often be a company, corporation, or individual.
6. If there is not a current date last updated, you could use the copyright date -- again at the bottom of the page.
7. Fill in the information you find in the appropriate spaces.
8. Look for an author (writer) of the information. Add that if there is one.
9. Click on Add to My Bibliography.
10. Look in the right hand column for the bibliography entry created for you. Copy that and save it or add it to your worksheet for plagiarism or to another word document saved on your thumb drive or in your own student file.

It could come out looking something like this:
Clooney, George "George Clooney." People 27 Nov. 2006: 72-75. Searchasaurus. EBSCO. 23 Oct. 2013
You need to use bibme to create bibliography entries -- unless you are using an online encyclopedia or other source that gives them a bibliography entry at the bottom of the web page!
A bibliography entry (which goes on the last slide of the PowerPoint) looks like this:
Scott, Westerfeld. " westerblog." westerblog. Scott Westerfeld, 31 Oct. 2011. Web. 1 Nov. 2011.
