How to Cite Sources

Here are web sites of importance that you should visit.

For citations of sources:

This is by far the best and most comprehensive guide for research, writing, and citation on the web and it is free.. It has good examples of the citation of the MLA kind. We shall use the MLA format for our site WITH ONE EXCEPTION: titles of books, of journals, and so forth shall be in ITALICS instead of underlining.

In text references should be of this type: (author page). They must be linked to a Works Cited at the end of the site.

This a page with good examples of printed and electronic citations based on MLA, but beware: they use underlines instead of italics.

Works Cited

For visual sources such as maps, photographs, paintings, there are good examples here at the Library of Congress site.
Every image that is used as a document must be identified by a caption below the image, with creator, title, date (creator and date in italics, title in normal text). This should be linked to a full citation in the Works Cited, to include a complete citation for source of the image.
