  1. Whenever We Do Research It’s important to cite our sources! By Mrs. Fisher

  2. Why?

  3. Three Good Reasons 1. When you use someone else’s work or ideas you must give that person credit. A citation provides a method of giving recognition to the author of an idea or expression whether from a written source or some other medium. 2. A citation allows your audience to locate your sources – furthering their knowledge. 3. If you do not cite the sources upon which your research is based, you will be guilty of plagiarism.

  11. Now Let’s Take A Closer Look At Individual Entries . . . http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/IMP/IMP141/Boy_with_magnifying_glass.jpg

  12. In Grades K-12, we use the MLA or Modern Language Association’s rule’s for doing citations. http://www.fotosearch.com/comp/IMP/IMP141/Boy_with_magnifying_glass.jpg

  13. An example of a book entry: Author’s last name, first name. Book Title. City of publication: Publishing company, publication date. Important: you must indent the second and third lines of any entry.

  14. An example of an encyclopedia entry: Author’s last name, first name. “Title of article.” Name of Encyclopedia. Year of Edition. Volume number, page(s). (If no author is given, start with title.)

  15. An example of an online encyclopedia entry: “Title of article.” Title of Encyclopedia. Version. <URL>. (Date you accessed the website).

  16. An example of an Internet source: Author’s name, if known (last, first). “Title of Article.” [Online] Document date (if available). Website address (URL) (Visited: Date you accessed the website).

  17. Citing an Internet image source: Artist/Photographer’s name, if known, (last,first). “Image/Photo Title.” Image Description. Web Page Title. Update/Last Date. Date you accessed the website. Website address (URL).

  18. The Way We Cite An Internet Image Source: Right click on an image. Go to “properties” and copy the URL that is given. This at least gives a source for your image. (It is often difficult to find everything you need to do a good image citation.)

  19. Your Image Citation will look like this: Image Description: URL Or an actual citation done this way: Red or North Pyramid: <http://homepage.powerup.com.au/ ~ancient/redp1.jpg >
