Did you know...?

For every paper that you write, you need to provide accurate verifiable sources. Those sources must be correctly cited in your paper in order to receive credit. The DCC library has put together comprehensive citation tools that you can use for your bibliography.

Two of the most common formats for Works Cited pages are: MLA and APA. The style that you choose depends upon the requirements of your professor.

From our website, you can also access Citation Generators, which are online tools that you can use to correctly generate your information. For example, KnightCite can be used to easily create a bibliographic entry for any type of media item: books, periodicals and multimedia such as cartoons and DVDs, including more obscure citations such advertisements, maps, and songs. It's a simple form-driven website that allows you to enter all available information and then generates the appropriate citation for that information.

Remember to select which citation style you need before starting.

Feel free to ask the Reference Librarians questions about using the citation guides and code generators or make use of the help available in the Writing Center.
