OWL--Works Cited & In-text citations
Before you use a citation creation platform, you need to be sure you know what each element of the citations refers to. Purdue's Online Writing Lab gives a detailed overview of citations. Read about citing your sources here (link); the pull down menu on the left provides even more information.
Quotations are a minefield
Use the Nuts and Bolts of College Writing by Michael Harvey to help you include quoted text seamlessly in your research writing.
Citation Creation Tools
Citation creation tools can make your life easier--if you know the parts of a citation (see above). Calvin College's Knoight Cite and EasyBib are two great sites to use. Use MLA 2009 format for your Works Cited and internal citation.
