EndNote Web provides the ability to save and organize citations as well as format them. If you don't need long term storage of citations, if you don't think you'll reuse them, or if you just need a quick formatted citation in a major style, you might want to try one of these other options.
Many databases provide citations formatting in MLA and APA. Look for buttons and links that say something like, "Cite Now" or "How to Cite". Some databases will have a citation at the bottom of the page. For example, in EBSCO databases, such as Academic Search Premier, the citations are linked under Tools to the right of the article and labeled 'Cite'.
Warning: Always double check automated formatting against the rules and examples provided in style manuals and guides. Be especially careful of capitalization, proper names, and dates.
