Quick steps to producing a reference list or bibliography
using the CiteAce software.

Quick steps to producing a reference list or bibliography using CiteAce*

1. Open CiteAce.

2. Choose Make or edit your list.

3. The program default is Harvard style. If you want APA or MLA referencing, choose Format/Change List Format from the menu bar at the top of the screen. 

4. Find the words Start Here at the top left hand corner and work your way down through the buttons, following the arrows. (The small i next to each button explains what each button does.)  Start with New, then Heading. 

5. When you are asked to save your list, save it to your network account so that you can access it from any EC computer.

6. Click on the source you have from the list (e.g. book), enter the information in the spaces, following the examples provided on the screen, then Enter onto List. 

7. When you have finished your list you can print it, copy and paste it, or save it to your network account. 

8. If you need to access your list outside of the CiteAce program, then you need to hit the Make RTF File button. This saves the file as rich text (.rtf) which can be used in any word processing document without losing information or formatting.

 The Library staff can help if you need help.

Note:
If you haven’t written a reference list or bibliography before, we recommend that you do the tutorials, or ask a librarian for help.  
Access the tutorials after you’ve opened the program.
