EasyBib is an automatic citation & bibliography composer for APA, MLA, and Chicago/Turabian styles. 

EasyBib is also available from the library home page under My Accounts.

If you are not using a citation composer yet, choose EasyBib rather than NoodleBib, as we are phasing that one out. 

This handout will help you develop keywords based on your topic.
