Citing Sources--Easier or Harder Than it Used to Be?

 This post is simply for your information and use.

So in the past you had to write a bibliography by hand, looking carefully at the title page of the book for the information to put in your handwritten or typed bibliography. You had to remember all the things to put in the bibliography like title, author and copyright and then put the commas and periods in the right place. Now the computer will do that for you and tell you what information you need, but finding the information you need on a website, like when it was last updated or who the author is can be really hard to fine. However the computer program will organize all the information for you on your works cited page. That is if you can get the program to work for you! Which do you think is easier--the older way when we only had books or the newer way where we have the computer to help us cite electronic resources?
