The zbib solution doesn't work well for articles from the NYT Historical, so in that case, I recommend that students use the citation feature built into the database!
In either case - using the database generated citations or the zbib generated citations, please encourage students to check their citations against the style guide or a solid citation resource!
Hi all!
I've noticed a big increase in chats from students in History 101, which is a contemporary history course for first-year students. They have an assignment that requires them to find three sources (one book, one newspaper article, and one journal article), and for EACH, they need a citation in APA, MLA, Chicago Notes-Bib, Turabian Author-Date, and Turabian Notes-Bib. So, for example, they would find one source about the Bay of Pigs (like this one: https://login.libproxy.uncg.edu/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=ahl&AN=160692432&site=ehost-live) and cite it in each of those five different citation styles.
Maggie recommends that students use https://zbib.org to compile their citations. They can put their three required sources in Zbib, choose a citation style, copy and paste that bibliography into their document, then switch to a different style, copy and paste those, and so on.
Please encourage students to us Maggie's excellent research guide: https://uncg.libguides.com/his101
Thanks!
Jenny
