Citation Online--BibMe

BibMe (http://www.bibme.org/) is an online tool that helps users correctly cite the resources that they use.  Users can choose the format they desire:  MLA, APA, Chicago, Turabian.  You can easily cite books, magazines, journals, websites etc.  I really like that I can choose between auto-fill mode and manual entry mode.  For example, if I want to cite an article from cnn.com, I can enter cnn.com into the  search window  auto-fill completes the basic information before I add the specifics of the citation.  Unlike Son of Citation, BibMe allows users to save their entries and add annotations if desired.  As a grad school student, sites like BibMe have made my life much easier!  Other citation sites you might try are EasyBib and Son of Citation.  Good luck!
