To install this tool, click on your initials in the top-right corner of the Library Course Reserves screen and select Cite It! in the drop-down menu.
Then follow the instructions to drag and drop the Cite It! button into your bookmarks or favorites bar.
Using CITE IT! from the Web
You can use the Cite It! tool to add items to your lists from any of the McDermott Library Databases or you can also add items while browsing the web, for example searching for books on Amazon, YouTube videos or articles on an open database.
Note: Cite It! copies full item details from many supported sites, but other sites may need more details added manually. Please check the information is correct before clicking Add & Close to avoid any confusion or mistakes.
