Library Citation Help

Learn how to correctly cite, or credit, your sources.

Whenever you use information from a book, film, article, or any source in your papers or presentations, you will need to credit, or cite, your sources.

Always double check any citation formatting you get from a library database or citation generator. You are ultimately responsible for what you turn in.
