WorldCat's New CiteMe Facebook App

The LSU Libraries Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/lsulibraries) now comes with a built-in citation generator.  Thanks to WorldCat, the world’s largest library catalog, researchers can now create customized citations with the click of a mouse, and right inside Facebook.   The CiteMe App offers citation help in five different styles:  APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, and Harvard.   For more information, check out the WorldCat blog post about the Facebook app:  http://www.worldcat.org/blogs/archives/2008/06/citeme-on-facebook.htm.

By logging into WorldCat via the LSU Libraries Indexes & Databases page, researchers can also create entire bibliographies quickly and easily.  Questions about these tools?  Simply contact one of LSU Libraries’ reference librarians by Reference Chat or Email!  http://www.lib.lsu.edu/ref/readyref.html

Happy Citing!

Because of suspended shipping by LSU and most major universities during the Christmas holiday period, December 21, 2009, to January 4, 2010, Interlibrary Borrowing is advising patrons to place ILLiad requests as early as possible before the holidays.  Loans requested after December 7, 2009, may not be shipped before January 4, 2010.  Articles requested after December 18, 2009, may not be delivered before January 4, 2010.

We will resume processing all ILLiad requests on January 4, 2010.
