How to Cite Sources
|
The two most common styles for
footnotes and bibliographies (lists of works cited) are the MLA and the
APA styles. OCC Libraries have print manuals for these and other
styles. They are also described and
exemplified in the Web sites listed below. The Web sites from Purdue
University do a good job of covering both MLA and APA. Ask your instructor whether he or she has a preferred style. |
