Citing Your Sources

When you use someone else's words or original ideas in a paper, you must give that person credit for their work. This is done either by parenthetical references within the body of your paper or by footnotes. At the end of your paper you provide a bibliography or "works cited" list of all the books, journal articles, electronic and other information resources that you used in your research.

There are a number of standard ways to cite your sources. The goal is to provide enough information so that the reader of your paper can locate all the resources you consulted (whether in print, on the Internet, or on another electronic source such as a CD).
