Easybib.com - When helping my son with his junior year research project (with the required 20 resources) he was having a problem with the bibliography. I found this cool FREE website that will automatically format the bibliography in MLA format, but you can choose to put it in APA style. It is a must for any research project. (I used it this summer for papers I wrote for UD too.) After everything is formatted, you can print it out, copy it or send it to an e-mail address.
