Open Google Apps
On the landing page, scroll down to open EasyBib.
Open EasyBib. Open a new project (MLA 7), name it R U What U Eat - your country name, share it with your group mates (only one group member should do this), and leave that tab open.
Do not export your EasyBib bibliography until all your group members have added all their resources. Then each group member should export the document to Google Docs/Drive, and rename it.
