Are you finishing up that final paper? Sometimes the hardest part is figuring out how to correctly cite your sources.

• You used a quote in your paper. How should you cite it?
• You found an article in one of the library's databases. What format should you use to cite it in your Works Cited page?
• Have you plagiarized any of your sources? What is plagiarism?

Cite it Right is a handy how-to guide for all of your citation questions. There are separate chapters for a variety of citation styles, including MLA, APA, and Chicago Manual of Style. These chapters outline how to correctly cite within your paper and on your Works Cited page. In addition, if you are just beginning to write your paper, Cite it Right has an entire chapter on how to organize your thoughts to get started writing.

Cite it Right is in the New Books Area and it may be checked out for 4-weeks. For more information on how to cite using MLA or APA citation styles, use the library's citation help page. This page provides you with PDF quick reference guides and links to useful citation websites.
