NOTE: It is important to keep in mind that database citation features are not 100% accurate. Therefore, when using database citation tools, it is extremely important to double-check that all the needed citation elements are in place.
Many Library databases have tools that allow you to view, export, or email your resource citations in APA Style. Using a database’s citation feature will allow you to immediately display a citation on the database screen which can then be copied and pasted into your paper. This method is great for quickly recording a source that you have used.
However, for long term storage and management of these citations, look at the other pages on RefWorks and Other Citation Management Tools.
To access a database’s citation feature, look for a link that says “Cite,” “Citation Tools,” or a symbol like two quotation marks or something similar. In NavigatorSearch, this feature is located on the right-hand side of the detailed record screen, as shown below.
