You have to sign up to save information to the site, but you can create citations for free.

Use your searching, evaluating and citation skills to find and cite five web pages or articles available on the internet pertaining to web evaluation. Make sure these articles or websites were either written after 2003, or the web pages have been updated since then.

Cite these references using Citation Machine, Source Aid and Noodle Bib. Format each citation in at least two different citation styles (APA, Chicago, MLA etc.,)

Input the citations into a word document, labeling both the citation building software and the style the citation is in.
