Bibliographies and Citation

Students should practice "direct quotations" and (in-text citation) for their first essays (remember citations go at the END of the sentence, in these parentheses).

Students will submit, too, a bibliography of their sources along with their final draft. They can do this at the end of their final paragraphs (skip a couple lines). I don't need an entire extra sheet of paper.

HERE is a link to the LaGuardia library website for helpful hints on direct quotation and citation and bibliographies.

Note: they call citation/bibliography "works cited."

Notice that the link has sample papers, in-text citations, and citation abbreviations in gray in the box near the top of the screen.

Notice that it gives you suggestions for how to cite sources from books ("books") as well as the internet ("web sources: free web"). The Times article is a web source.

For bibliographies, don't forget about EASY BIB (click on it!).
