It's not as bad as it seems. First, do you know which style you
are using? If not, ask your instructor. Then, you can use either
printed manuals and/or web resources to help you. The library
has several of these manuals (sometimes called "style guides")
in our Reference Collection. In each, you will find examples of
proper ways to cite various types of sources. Here are some of
the more commonly used style guides and their call numbers: |The

Writers of Research Papers ||R 808.027 G437m 2009 |Cite Right: A
