Citing your sources

Now that the Spring semester is in its third week, many of you are now or will soon be in the process of writing a research paper, and your professor will almost certainly require that you cite your sources using the APA, Chicago, or MLA citation style. For those of you unsure where to turn for help in generating citations, the Library has a web page dedicated to citing your sources. On our homepage, look under the first column (Find Information) and select the link for How to Cite Sources. On this page you will find information regarding all of the different style guides that the Library has, along with their call number locations, as well as a set of links to other websites with numerous examples on citing sources (under Online Citation Guides).

Lastly, don't hesitate to ask a librarian for assistance if you run into any trouble.
