and some of them have pictures if you have used a specific Edition and this is the Edition disses to the 2018 Edition with sometimes books are different so just be aware that you get and pick the one that you used so I am going to say that I used to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets I'm looking I'm looking number to use date it was published in that is because this is the newest edition of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and I am going to click save that's the first printing thank you it is there now I am looking around I don't have a book like you have lying I have a book handy I hope it's in the database I'm not a hundred I'm sure it is so we will see if it's in it what happens and if it's not so here is a book and I am going to search using the ISBN number which is 07689 10196 right and then I'm going to click search no results found and I'm going to show you the book it is my husband's Refrigeration book so it's not in the database which I can understand why I can still enter it manually and I can put the book author with his Antonio mejias Antonio in a really cool is here it gives you tips on how to put in the information so if you're not a hundred percent

edition did you give me when it was the first time it was originally published was 1993 and I have all this information so I might as well put it in and it is Peterson publisher right the publishing place I'm looking all over New Jersey and if I use specific pages I put those here and I couldn't put the ISBN is book online no and then I click save and here we go use that insect Citation for a book that wasn't in their database right going to add another citation here or a journal article that you could search for the title or for the day did the document number or you can enter it manually right the same thing here article author title of the article the date it was published the page range article number if you have it is the article online when you viewed it the name of the journal Number issue the database names and annotation other reason why I'm not feeling all that in his cuz I want to show you something so I've got three citations here let's click create citation one more time cuz you have also video right you also have Arts logbook website thesis speech so a variety of different types of media that you can use in order to create your citations so it's not just limited now my database articles my journal articles are all coming from my online sources and I can't really leave like copy and paste them in here which is a little frustrating for me so I am done with my my bib but I want to add some citations that I got the Gale databases sounds inscribes to or from New York Public Libraries databases that you have access to now so I'm going to download my work cited page and there's a bunch of different things that you can do document you can do a Word document on Google Drive and that's what I'm going to do I'm going to go to Google try and I'm going to save it and it's going to work going to spin spin spin and his bibliography savetube Google Drive is my babe sample right now I'm going to go here I'm going to refresh my drive and here is my bib sample and then I'm going to open it let's go I double click I open and here it is perfectly formatted for your work cited page right because you are bibliography needs to be alphabetical by the first entry now I've for some of our resources and they're in the library page and I'm using Encyclopedia Britannica which I can't import into my babe but I used one of their articles so I pick a random article right no not this one I'm going to pick a random article Battle of Chesapeake I don't know sounds interesting and this is the article that I used for my assignment up here at the top is a little check mark that's a sight you going to click on it and here's a few select a citation style MLA APA Harvard or I don't know I'm sticking with my M away I'm going to copy and then I'm going to piece it into my bibliography the only thing that you have to remember is MLA work cited faith alphabetical order by the entry word so here it would be battle so I go to my my big project Mike the battle would go before back and then I would right-click paste without formatting and the formatting is almost correct and the reason why I say almost correct is because I pasted it without formatting I lost the Ice House Britannica School so you go here you go to Britannica School and of course I'm so used to Britannica School now if I would have pasted it with formatting fortunately what happens if you keep the italics in the underlined in the bow what the font is different so you could do it either way you can do paste do us with the formatting and then go back and change the font or you can paste without formatting and then just change the italics whichever is easier for you to remember same thing goes for the Townsend Harris High School databases right when you click on it it's going to ask you for a password to get into databases password is Empire length all lowercase all one word I am going to go to a random database let's see I don't know something interesting using viewpoints I am going to click on global warming and climate change and I'm going to pick on climate change is already hurting kids health this article right and here is the citation MLA 8th Edition I can highlight copy and paste I can save that to my Google Drive separately I'm just going to highlight copy and paste and paste it into my doc it says Schreiber so I just need to make sure all of the business was easy to need to make sure that I pasted in the correct lace alphabetically I'm going to paste it this time with with the formatting and then I will go back and change it to make sure that matches the Times New Roman 12 and is black so you could do it either way that is easier for you uflacker doesn't look black then we talked and that is how you can use my babe to create your work cited page as well as
