Click here for a handout explaining Works Cited and In-Text Citations
When you quote or get information from a source, you need to be sure to make a note in your work somewhere that the idea or words are not your own. The two main types of citation are the Works Cited page and what is called an in-text citation.
- The Works Cited is the last page of your paper or presentation that lists, in alphabetical order, all of your references (works you cited).
- In-text citation is where you reference your information after you paraphrase or quote another work.
- There are two main styles of citation, MLA and APA. MLA is usually used for language and the arts, APA is used for the sciences. In high school, you will mostly use MLA, what you use in college will depend on your major.
Below you'll find some resources that will help you with citation. Feel free to contact your friendly librarian if you need any help with a citation, even if your class didn't come to the library to do research!
