The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University provides online writing and citation help to people worldwide. Librarians around the country recommend this site to check your cites in MLA, APA and other citation styles!
Once you get a list of results from OneSearch (before you click and open the article) there is a way to have the computer create your citations for you. This sample shows books but the same feature is available for journal articles.
Once you click the "quote marks" you can choose your citation style (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) from the drop down menu. The same menu appears if you click the envelope to email the article.
The library subscribes to many databases. For example, Political Science Complete is one of the many EbscoHost databases you have access to and EbscoHost databases all display the same from PsycInfo to Political Science.
In this interface you have to click on the article title to see how to emails, cite, etc When the article displays, the citation option is on the right side of the result.
Political Science Complete also creates citations for you in many different formats, like APA and MLA.
Many of the databases available to you have this feature--you just have to hunt around of the page to determine where it is located.
