      Citing Sources

      Citing your sources is a vital part of the research process. Citations allow readers of your work to follow in your steps, and citing demonstrates that you are conversant with the existing literature about your topic. Different fields rely on different citation styles.

      You can visit the library's How to Cite Sources page for tools and resources to help you properly cite your sources.

      Zotero is a free application that collects, manages, and formats citations and bibliographies. Zotero also helps organize your research by allowing you to attach PDFs, notes, and images to your references.
