Using Primary Sources on the Web: Finding, Evaluating, Using (American Library Association)

• Remember to cite your souce, when either quoting directly or paraphasing. In other words, cite your source whenever you present an idea that isn't your own.
• Websites must be cited in your notes/bibliography, too; if you cut and paste - or paraphrase - from a website, cite the webpage.
• When in doubt, cite your source.
• Remember to include a context for each quotation/paraphrase. Who said it? Why does it matter? How does this support or contradict the argument you're making?
• Use MLA (Modern Language Association) format; see either the quick guide (OWL@Purdue) or, for thorny questions, consult that full version: MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers - ref LB 2369 .G53 2009 (Young Reference & SC Annex Stacks)
