Trying EasyBib for a group bibliography

EasyBib has free and paid services for producing and sharing correct entries for lists of Works Cited. Though more powerful, EasyBib requires a little more care and effort.

Let’s give it a try.

• COPY this EasyBib ID Number: N200601250151091733.
• Go to EasyBib at http://www.easybib.com/
• Look for the link that says “Load Old List”
• PASTE in the EasyBib ID Number: N200601250151091733 and hit the NEXT button.
• You should now see a brief bibliography.
• Take your article or webpage and try your hand at using EasyBib. Select the source and medium, then enter the data.
• When you are finished reload the page to see what others have added.

There are several ways this can be used:

• individual student record keeping
• student groupwork
• teacher to student communication
• departmental resource

Can you think of any past situations when this would have been handy? Do you think your students can master using EasyBib?
