Answer

Use WorldCat. Leave the dafuelt search on College of the Mainland Library to search for books in our library; change it to Libraries Worldwide for books not in our library. This will get most books.

Here's how:

Go to WorldCat and search for your book. (change to Libraries Worldwide if not from our library)
From the results list, click on the title.
Once on the item page, select Cite/Export (see below).
A pop-up window will launch with APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA and Turabian style citations (see below).
Click on your style to get the citation.

Change It Tips:

1. Make sure it is formatted double spaced with a .5" hanging indent on your works cite page.

It Should Look Like: MLA

Isaacson, Walter. Steve Jobs. New York: Simon & Schuster, 2011. Print.

It Should Look Like: APA

Isaacson, W. (2011). Steve Jobs. New York: Simon & Schuster.
