One advantage of doing your searches in an EBSCO interface database is that it will put your references into APA format for you if you so specify.

1)  As you search the database, place desired references in your EBSCO "folder."

2) Select all the references that you want to put in APA format, then select Print, Email, or Save As File from right side of the screen.

3) At the following screen you may select APA format among several choices for formatting your chosen references.

Your instructor may want you to verify that the automatic formatting is correct.  Sometimes these automated citation generators do make mistakes when formatting references without the help of a human.  See the box below for online resources that may help you verify the formatting of your references.
