CITING SOURCES

Evaluating and Citing Sources

Remember to cite your source, when either quoting directly or paraphrasing.
Cite your source whenever you present an idea that isn't your own.
Websites must be cited in your notes/bibliography, too; if you cut and paste--or paraphrase--from a website, cite the webpage. Date of access is critical.
When in doubt, cite your source.
