 Citing
#7 How to Cite Your Sources - Find Citation HelpPlagiarism is a serious offense. You'll need to cite the sources that you used in your research. Since it's important to keep a consistent style throughout your work, cite sources for your bibliography using MLA (Modern Language Association) style or APA (American Psychological Association) style or another style approved by your instructor. Many instructors will require the use of a specific citation style. Ask a reference librarian for help or contact the Teaching Learning Center at Oakton. Use Oakton Library's NoodleTools to format your citations and create a bibliography.

Is it written according to MLA style, APA style or another type of style? Remember It's important to use a standard and consistent style for citing sources since the bibliography needs to have a uniform look. This uniform style helps to easily locate the sources that you cited. Your instructor may require a certain style for citing sources. Be sure to ask.
