Think about the last time you had to include a Works Cited or Bibliography in an assignment. Respond in at least 3 sentences.
  • What was easy about it?
  • What was confusing or frustrating?
  • If you've never done one, what do you think it should include?

Watch the video about how to use mybib.com and format your own Works Cited electronically according to the instructions.
Open mybib.com in another window and follow along with video while the website is explained.

Go to the top right corner of the mybib.com page and create an account. DO NOT SIGN IN WITH THE GOOGLE OPTION!!!!!! Enter your email and password manually and click create account or you will be blocked by CPS.
Choose MLA 9 format for your Works Cited.
On your mybib.com screen, click on Add Citation and then choose Journal.
Enter the following link in the search bar and then click search: https://www.mdpi.com/2673-5172/3/1/2

Select the journal article and press Save. If information is missing, such as a date accessed, you can add it during this stage. Click on the world icon to the right of the citation in order to go to the website directly to look for more information.
Add another citation for a journal article that you only have the DOI number for. Find the DOI number on the document (can be located almost anywhere on document) or on the information about the document such as on a search engine or EBSCO.

Here is the website: https://crl.acrl.org/index.php/crl/article/view/15806

Find the DOI and plug it into your mybib.com page search bar for journal and add it to your page.
Citations do not always automatically pop-up on mybib.com.
