Citing Sources

Be sure to credit the sources you use for a research project -- whether printed books and journals or online texts, websites, etc. If you are not familiar with MLA format, Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL) is a great resource. 

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