Solution

Both options are valid and can be very helpful.

  1. Using a citation generator: There are several online tools like EasyBib, Citation Machine, or BibMe that can help you generate citations in various styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). You just need to input the necessary information about your source (like author, title, publication date, etc.) and the tool will generate the correct citation for you. However, you should always double-check the generated citation against a reliable style guide to make sure it's correct.

  2. Asking a librarian: Librarians are trained in information literacy skills, including citation. They can guide you on how to cite sources correctly. You can ask them in person if you're at a library, or many libraries also offer online chat services.

Remember, it's important to cite correctly to give credit to the original authors and to avoid plagiarism.
