RESOURCES
A bibliography generator is only as good as the information you plug into it. Use a Works Cited Worksheet to gather everything you need before using a bibliography generator.
Bibliography generators used on tablets can be tricky as often they remove formatting if you use copy-and-paste functions. Be sure to work with the bibliography generator's export functions (directly to Word or Dropbox) for best results.
The current edition of Modern Language Association (MLA) format is the seventh edition. Be sure that all MLA resources you use refer to the seventh edition.
PLAGIARISM
The best defense against plagiarism is to understand what it is and how to avoid it.
SIMILARITY CHECKERS
A similarity checker is a tool that can compare your written work to that of others, identifying areas that sound too similar to the work of other people. The use of such a tool can be helpful to avoid plagiarism. Use of these services does not guarantee that writing is free from plagiarism.
