Citations and Attributions in Story Maps
How should you add citations or Story Maps? There are a variety of ways! Check with your professor to see if they have a preference and a preferred format style.

ZoteroBibThis site can be really helpful for creating citations! Pick the style and copy/paste a link into the search - Zbib will auto-create the citations. Some minor editing is required!
Sharing, Collaboration, and Publishing
When working with Story Maps in a group project - a group setup by an ArcGIS admin is required for collaborative editing. To request a group, contact the IT Helpdesk and let us know:
- What you would like the Group name to be
- The names and St. Olaf emails for all group members
- We can't add non-St. Olaf emails to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS groups - St. Olaf users only
Please note:
- ArcGIS does not allow for synchronous editing with multiple users (multiple people can't edit the same project at the same time). But multiple people can contribute to the same project.
- We can't add users to a Group until they accept the ArcGIS Online invite
