Citation Help

1. Keep track of all of the information and sources you used during your research.
2. Ask your professor about the required citation style.
3. Consult the appropriate tab.

Each citation should answer the questions:

• Who wrote the material you are using?
• What did the author(s) entitle the piece he/she/they wrote?
• Where and when was it published (for a book, what city; for an article, which periodical)?
• If it's an article or a chapter, what pages is your source on?
