CITATION TOOLS
 
Why do citations have to be so complicated?  If you have ever looked through the APA  manual, you know just how complicated they are.  The reason is that there are so many different types of sources, especially with the proliferation of electronic sources.  So how can you ever keep it all straight and cite your sources correctly?
