End your sentence with this (before the period).
Not just quotations; any time the idea isn’t yours!

 Bring your reader to your bibliography!
MLA: (Name pg#)
 Example: (Gibson 85)
APA: (Name, pub.year)

Quick Tips and Advice

Create your bibliography as you work.

paper.
 Base these after your bibliography.
 Use a citation generator with caution

Some databases will create your citations for you.
Some websites (listed on the “Cite Your Sources”

Check the style that the generator uses against the
style in your citation guides.
 Don’t Wait Till the Last Minute!!!!!!
