Be careful using the "Cite this" function in the Proquest Databases (ABI Inform, Health Management, Research Library, New York Times & Wall Street Journal). We've found that the system has problems formatting the authors when generating citations. Often the citation will begin with the author's first name. Here's an example:
John M Dunn. "Growing Stronger and Greener. " Florida Trend : 2009: BusinessFlorida 1 Jan. 2009: 33. ProQuest Newsstand. ProQuest. 7 Nov. 2008 <http://www.proquest.com/>
Since all documentation styles state that authors are listed last name first in citations, this is a major error. So be sure to look at ProQuest citations carefully and adjust the author entry if necessary.
