EasyBib and your Works Cited

People,

Simply copying and pasting from easybib is NOT going to give you the correct formatting for you paper.  Take the time and effort to just type and you can save yourself a lot of trouble.  This is why you have the checklist so that you don't forget to do that.

Easybib puts all the information in the correct order and formats it correctly within the citation but the actual format of the whole citation usually WILL NOT copy and paste as it is supposed to look.

I strongly suggest just straight up typing it and not copying and pasting.  This way you can get the format right without all the auto formatting that word processing programs do that are so frustrating.

P.S. Each line in your works cited must go as close to the right margin as possible before you move down to the next line.  Look at the example in the directions or just simply google image search MLA works cited and you can see examples.
