Really useful for students at the end of a semester: three guides to citation styles, PDFs courtesy of the University of California at Berkeley Library:
APA Style Guide
Chicago-Turabian Style Guide
MLA Style Guide
Missing though are explanations of what do with multiple works by one author.
APA: If the works are from the same year, use a letter: (2008a), (2008b).
Chicago: Use a 3-em dash for the author's name: ———.
MLA: Use three hyphens for the author's name: ---.
These are the best guides in PDF form I've found. If anyone can recommend better ones, please do.

Thanks for posting these, Michael. I'll be passing the MLA style guide onto my students. I thank you on their behalf!

You're welcome, Jason!
One thing that I see is missing is an explanation of what do with multiple works by one author, but that's easy enough to add:
APA: If the works are from the same year, use a letter: (2008a), (2008b.)
Chicago: Use a 3-em dash for the author's name: ———.
MLA: Use three hyphens for the author's name: ---.
