I’m on my last ends here. NO this is not a “help me with my homewokre!!!1” thread, because I have already done the work. The hard task is putting all my sources into acceptable MLA format. I have a large project due tomorrow and I got landed the task of doing the Bibliography for my group. Not only that, but just one person out of my entire group bothered to give me their sources, and most of the sources contain bits and pieces here and there that would require me to find them again and correct the info. That’s not so bad, I can always bluff. I’m a master bluffer. Only minor problem. Like I said, the big problem is doing the Bibliography. I don’t know how. Frankly, it’s too fucking late to give me a course in MLA documentation (and I wouldn’t care anyways). What I need is a website that will do this for me. I know they exist, for I have seen them before. Noodletools is not an option because it is no longer free. Easybib.com DOES NOT…WORK! You enter in all your information, click the ‘enter’, and guess where the link sends you? Right back to step one, and it doesn’t tell you where your info went. One time I used a wonderful easy-bib creation. All I had to do was put in the info and it actually told me how it was in MLA! But I’ve lost it.

Dopers, I need your help. Are there any web sites out there for me in this time of need?

You might try BibBuilder 1.2 .

I have no idea how good it is (but since I had to type all my own stuff by hand without even a not-yet-invented word processor, I m disinclined to test it for you. Þ :wink: )

wow, they’ve got bibliography programs out now. Sorry I cant help you with the bibliograpy program recommendation but cant you ask your group members to email you their sources so that you can put it together? I know there are alot of tradional sites that give you the correct form to do a bibliography for mla you just follow the examples.

Bless you, tomndebb.

tomndebb, that link rocks. If it’s updated yearly, that’ll save me the trouble of having to buy another MLA format guide every time the wind shifts in the MLA office and they decide that a period in a cite of a web page by several different authors must become a semicolon or some stupid crap like that. Well, that’s a rant for another time.

I feel your pain, Blackeyes. Although quite frankly, I think it’s pretty scary that I can write most sources in MLA format directly from memory. (Yell at your source-neglecting group mates for me.)

I’ve got MLA drilled into me so deep it’s probably printed in my genetic code. This is very annoying because MLA pretty much sucks as a documentation system. Chicago style is much better.

Update: The link worked fine, luckily the person who gave me their sheet included fairly accurate URLs, so I didn’t have to go out of my way to get all the needed info from that. The Bibliography is huge (larger than most, anyways), because I’m a good student :cool: of course. Today one of the two none-giving group members gave me theirs, so I turned it in with mine. The last remaining goup member shurgged it off and said all of his stuff came off of Google. :rolleyes:

Oh well. If the teacher notices, she’ll be swade when we present our findings by Dean Martin singing “Papa Loves Mambo”.
