Citation Guidelines --For Citing Facts and Information
When gathering facts and information for any paper, project, or report, you must keep track of the reference sources you use in order to give credit to the original owner of the ideas. For each information source, you will create a citation. At the end of each project, you should make one list of all these citations that is called a Works Cited.
For English, you will use the Modern Language Association (MLA 8) Style Guide.
Here are examples by type of reference source:

Last name, First name. "Title of Essay." Title of Collection, edited by Editor's Name(s), Publisher, Year, Page range of entry.
