Actually, I'm not sure of any advantage to using a compiling service.
The kids spend the same amount of time gathering the information and
inputting it into a program.
But, they lose the 'hands on' of learning the order of the parts and
getting a feel for the punctuation. Assuming they are word processing,
the alphabetizing can be handled by the program.
You could assist kids by developing a template or style sheet that would
set the spacing of cites, space between cites, the heading information,
hanging indents, etc.
