MyBib is a free online citation bibliography creation tool. It can create citations and bibliographies in many styles such as MLA 8 and 9, APA 6 and 7, Chicago 17th ed., and more. MyBib allows you to paste in a website URL or even search for a book, article, or other source by title, and will pull most of the information you need to create a citation (though you may need to double check that the information is correct and complete).
Once you’ve created your citations, MyBib allows you to copy paste your citations, download them as a Word document, save them to your Google Drive, print them, or email them to yourself.
