[CASL-L] Anyone using EasyBib these days -- with the EDU coupon code?

[STEPHANIE PATTERSON]

I tried Noodletools for a year - not a single teacher interested. Since then, the collaboration is growing. Maybe timing, maybe disinterest. Most of our databases provide citations - MLA and APA

Good afternoon, colleagues,

I am sure Tunxis is not alone in the EasyBib conundrum.


•         First they were sold to Chegg and it was going to be free, but rife with advertising.  We could live with that, actually.


•         Then, when the semester began, MLA was free but APA was not there until you opted for their $9.99 per month fee (which the State would never agree to).


•         Then, everything came back for free.  And MLA 8 was there, too!


•         Then it all went away again, but you could request a free EasyBib EDU account and get a coupon code – which would allow students to register as new users or to re-register with the coupon code.  We did that.


•         Even with the advertising… this too, seemed livable!


•         Until recently.


•         There seems to be a lag time between using the coupon code and gaining access to APA.  So, while you are touting the whole registration process to the student with hope and positivity, APA still does not come up.


•         After the student leaves, and you trying logging in again because you desperately need a reliable citation generator and you are determined to crack the code  – APA works.

Is this your experience?

Should I bag EasyBib for something better?   Like, what?

Help me, oh wise ones!  The research papers are cranking over here.
