Creating a Bibliography - APA 7th edition

You can easily create a bibliography from the All Documents area, any collection or your search results list.  Usually a bibliography will be created from a folder. 

Navigate to the collection you want to use (or All Documents area or run a search and select items) and click the Create bibliography icon .   When the drop down menu opens, click on Create Bibliography again.

 

When the bibliography opens it will appear in the citation style most recently used.  To change the style, click on the arrow next to the style in use, example is APA 7th.  Select a different style from the listing or type in a style in the search box.  Once the new style is chosen, the bibliography will automatically reload. Select the star and it will add this style to your favorites list. Your formatted bibliography will be displayed in your browser for you to copy and paste into any word processing software.
