For help citing a source within your paper, use the Writing Center's guide APA:Citing Within Your Paper and for help citing a source for your references page, use the Writing Center's guide on APA: Formatting Your Reference List

Database Cite Tool

Most of the UAGC library databases have a citation tool that will provide you with a resource's APA citation. The tool can usually be found on the page with detailed information about the article. Clicking on the title of the article from the search results page will typically bring up this detailed information. 

EBSCOhost/Library OneSearch

For EBSCOhost, the citation tool is located under "tools" on the right-hand side of the page once an article is accessed.
