  1. APA style manual  
    • APA is the citation style that is being use the most often within my classes as such having access to it is necessary. On top of that APA is a welcome breath of fresh air due to how simple citing is with it compared to MLA.
  2. Purdue Owl
    • Purdue Owl also helps with keeping track of APA citations. More importantly though Purdue Owl also contains information about other citation styles that I might need for assignments.
  3. RefWorks
    • Refworks is a system used by the UNT Library that saves articles to be accessed at a later time without having to search for them again. This has been useful to me since it allows for me to not have to download all of the articles at once or leave them open in tabs in my browser.
  4. Refworks citation manager
    • The Refworks citation manager automatically creates a works cited page for the articles entered for a number of styles. The work of making works cited pages is always the most mindless part of writing papers having something to automate it saves me time and lets me focus more on the quality of the paper.
  5. HTML + CSS
