How to Cite Sources/Style Guide

An online source explaining all four of the most used citation styles is at Online! A Reference Guide to Using Internet Resources. Two copies of the book ONLINE! are located in the Library. Both of these resources show how to cite the sources you will need to list in your bibliography, works cited and footnotes in: MLA style, APA style, Chicago style, and CBE (biology) style. Another excellent site is Citing Sources, Guide to Library Research at Duke University.

Great citation help is available at Citation Style Guides , provided by the Ohio State University Libraries, and Writer's Handbook -- Documentation Styles, maintained by the Writing Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
