Build a Bibliography Quickly with These Websites

I don’t know about you, but I hate writing bibliographies. It takes so much time to get everything formatted just right.

Books need to be formatted one way; journal articles have to be written a different way; and websites need to be . . . yeah, you get the picture.   It can all be very annoying (especially when you’re in a rush).

So that’s why we like these online tools that can help you develop your paper’s bibliography in a snap. Yeah, this includes APA, MLA, and Chicago.
Here you go:

OttoBib
Simply type in your book’s ISBN number and press enter. You’ll instantly get your books info styled appropriately in either MLA, APA, or Chicago. This online tool can save you tons of time. Very cool.

BibMe
Alright, this website will definitely save you tons of time. You can easily get a bibliography styled in MLA or APA for books, magazines, newspaper articles, journals, or film. Yeah, this is definitely a great place to start when starting your bibliography.

EasyBib
This website isn’t as user-friendly, but it can help you get your books and magazines styled for MLA or APA fairly quickly. I’d probably use this website as a last resort though. It takes a little bit of time to get used to–and when I’m writing a bibliography–I don’t have much time.
