EasyBib – Bibliography Creation Tool

Some of you may have heard of EasyBib before and you know it rocks. This is a really useful tool for putting together that dreaded bibliography. It takes the sources that you feed it, and will turn things out, in either APA or MLA format. If you’re in college, this may be especially useful for those English classes.

Last year, in my writing class I had to do everything in MLA, it was pretty straight forward. I would go through everything, and get to the bibliography. This is really the worst part of writing something like a research paper. It just takes too long.

So taking the hassle out of those big research papers, is really really nice. Though there is really one thing that bothers me about EasyBib. Using it is a pretty easy task, but the way it looks could definitely be improved.

Besides the site looking a little plain, which really isn’t a bad thing, I have no complaints. It’s really straight forward, you put your sources into a form, and click Format Citation. When you do that, you will be given the option to export as an RTF file, print the bibliography, or view the formatted bibliography directly, as a text file in the browser.

All in all, EasyBib is very useful, you can format any MLA bibliography, whenever you want for free. If you want to format it to APA, you need to sign up for the pro account. In my opinion, it is really worth the cost. They want $8 for a whole year, and you get a one week free trial.

So if you’re looking to cut down on the amount of time you spend on your research papers, or really any paper’s bibliography, check out EasyBib. It’s never gotten me a bad grade :D.
