    Copy Citation for Record

    This information is not applicable to Primo VE environments. For more details on Primo VE configuration, see Primo VE.
    The Citation action has been added to the Actions drop-down list (which was previously named Send to) in the search results and the e-Shelf to allow end users to copy citations in different styles (APA, MLA, and Chicago/Turabian) for individual records in their search results and e-Shelf. This option utilizes the EasyBib API to create the citations.
