Image: Citing & Emailing from a Database

Many of our databases provide help with formatting citations in APA, MLA, or other citation styles. 

For example, in the EBSCOhost databases (Academic Search Complete, CINHAL, PsycInfo, etc.), when printing, emailing, or saving citations, you can select the citation style. Always check to ensure the citation is correct.
