Sighting sources then Citing sources

Sighting sources - what do you see?
Citing sources - what did you use?

They sound alike but are quite different.

Sighting a source means looking for something and finding it.
Citing a source means telling your reader where you found the information.

How do you tell your reader where you found the information you used in your paper? Some instructors want you to use MLA (Modern Language Association). Some want you to use APA (American Psychological Association). Then some instructors like Turabian. What is a student to do?

On the home page of GALILEO, on the far left under Quick Help! is a How Do I... drop down box. Way down on the list is "cite articles". This will lead you to a page of examples for APA, MLA, and Turabian.

The password for home use of GALILEO is available to the citizens of Georgia from your librarian. Some resources noted in this BLOG are only available to NMTC patrons.
