When using the catalog, you may find a book or another resource that you want to cite in your paper or project.  You can, of course, figure things out by yourself. However, the catalog does provide a tool that can make citing things easier.  It's its Cite feature.  To use it, do the following:

• Click on the title of the book or other resource that you want to get a citation to
• On the right side of the screen, look under the item's name and find the Cite button and then click it: 
• A screen will pop up that will have a drop down that allows you to choose a citation that you want use:
• After choose your style, the citation will be given. Just copy the citation into your document:
• One thing to be aware of is that this feature isn't always 100% accurate. So, check with style guide to see if everything is appearing in the citation correctly. Check with your professor if you have any questions.
