Why is it important to cite your sources?
Where to get help
How do you cite a book? What about an article from one of the library databases? What about Wikipedia? These links will help you figure it out. To find an example of a less common resource like a pamphlet or email, check out the
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association at the Reserves Desk. The call number is: Ref. BF76.7.P83 2001.
- Social Sciences: Documenting Sources
Diana Hacker is well known for her books that help students write papers. Her guide for documenting sources for APA is the best on the web. This will help you with the most common types of sources. - Citing Wikipedia If you really, really, really, really, really insist on using Wikipedia even when your professors say not too, at least cite it properly.
- WorldCat Search WorldCat for the books you are using. You can easily copy and paste the citation into your paper for the major styles. It will probably save you at least 5 minutes per citation.
- RefWorks Let the internet manage your citations! Use free RefWorks accounts to make sure your citations are correct.
