Google Docs Add-Ons - EasyBib

Google Apps for Education has recently released something new to Google Docs and Sheets.  Add-ons are similar to extensions for Chrome, but they are only for Docs or Sheets.  They are very easy to find!  Open a Doc or Sheet and you will notice "Add-ons" in the tool bar.  Clicking on that will take you to an interface that looks similar to the Chrome Webstore.

One of these Add-ons is EasyBib.  EasyBib is a web tool that allows users to input some basic source information and it will produce a bibliography entry for the source.  Better yet, it will add it right to your Doc with another click of a button.

It is a great tool!  We have seen it in action already!  It does need some permissions to add it to your Doc. It is a trustworthy site and the permissions are minimal.  Some other add-ons ask for several permissions.  I am still learning about these and will update when more is known.  Until then, enjoy EasyBib!
