Click on the title of an item to find out more information about it and to get the citation. To find the citation, click on the icon that looks like a pair of quotation marks, then find the citation style required. You can highlight, copy, and paste that into your references page.

Information is typically in the correct order, but it is recommended to double-check that as well.
