Citation Generators

Bibme
is one of the best of the citation generators. It is free. Be aware that you must have an email address if you wish to download or save your bibliography. Otherwise you will need to cut and paste. However, it is well worth it. This is a very comprehensive generator.
KnightCite
is an online citation generator service provided by the Hekman Library of Calvin College. The service is provided free of charge by the college, and is available to members both within and outside of the Calvin community.
Citation Machine
is an interactive web tool designed to assist high school, college, and university students, their teachers, and independent researchers in their effort to respect other people's intellectual properties.
EasyBib
is an automatic bibliography composer. It is another very powerful generator. The major difference between it and Bibme.org is that to get the full package, you must subscribe. It does have a very good free component.
