MLA & APA citations as EBSCOhost output
Our EBSCOhost periodicals databases allow you an option of having citations printed, e-mailed, or saved as MLA or APA format. Here’s an MLA example of one of these computer-generated citations:
Patrick O'Driscoll, and Elizabeth Weise. "Green living takes root // But habits die hard." USA Today (n.d.). Academic Search Premier. EBSCO. [Library name], [City], [State abbreviation]. 9 November 2007. http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=aph&AN=J0E333784091307&loginpage=login.asp&site=ehost-live.
You will need to change the red part (it arrived in black from EBSCOhost; red is for demonstration only) to say Southwestern College Library, Chula Vista, CA.
Also, the URL should be shortened to http://search.ebscohost.com/ to match the form most frequently used at SWC.
Even with needing to make these changes, you will find that EBSCOhost has saved you quite a bit of work in formatting your citations.
