A works cited page can also be called a bibliography or a list of references.  These pages are how you share the sources you used for your research.  Using in-text citations, quotations and works cited pages are all critical components of research papers. They are an important step in avoiding plagiarism and substantiating your work.   We have Google Docs to build citations, and our databases provide them as well.  This page will show you how to build citations with Google Docs, export them from databases, and how to put them all together for your works cited pages.  Remember, citations and works cited pages can be challenging, so swing by the library for help!
