Sometimes while searching Electronic Databases or reading Bibliographies at the back of textbooks, we find some brief information on articles or other information which we called a citation or an abstract. 

This is a brief summary of the contents of an article. It will tell you the Author's name (Steve Alexander), Article Title (Lessons in e-learning), Publication Title (Computerworld), and some Issue details (Oct 8, 2001; Vol. 35, lss. 41; pg. 30, 2 pgs).

An example of a citation looks like this:

Steve Alexander, "Lessons in e-learning" Computerworld; Oct 8, 2001; Vol. 35, lss. 41; pg. 30, 2 pgs.

If you need to read the full-text of the article you can do the following:
