Who, what, where

Citations are so simple. Really, they are very simple. The pattern is - who did it (the author), what did they do (the title) and how does my reader get it (the publisher). The complications arise with punctuation.

We have several resources to help students cite their sources. On our Library Guide page we have links for printable pdf files - APA and MLA. Each document serves as a pattern for the citation style. Just follow along and make sure you use the correct punctuation.

In addition to these printable documents, there is a Library Guide. The tabs break down MLA and APA with book and electronic sources.

It's the beginning of the term. Students are starting to do research. Now is the time to do the citation correctly. As I said to my children, if you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?
