What is Scrible? What makes Scrible so awesome?

Scrible is web-based software that helps you save information you find online, annotate that information, and organize your source citations. Scrible is the best online, digital annotation tool we've ever seen! Scrible helps you create source citations, in-text parenthetical citations, and your Works Cited page. It even helps you outline and organize your paper!

The website you are viewing now offers help using Scrible. If you need additional help, please visit the DGS Library or email the DGS librarians.
