Moving On: Studying the rules for in-text citation

5.Note the following link to review the basics of Direct Quotations and Bibliographies (works cited).

HERE is material that explains "framing quotations." We will look at some of this as a class. 


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!).

6. Note the link HERE to a course blog about in-text citations.
