Hints

• Do you have all the information from your source?

• What goes in text? Whatever is first on your works cited page.

• Webpages aren’t as complicated as they seem: look for an author or responsible organization, a title, a date of some sort, and a URL (http…).

• No date?- N.D. in APA and MLA - use title in Chicago

APA Hints:• Sentence capitalization

(only first letter and proper names) for titles

• Author-date in text format• Include DOI if available

MLA hints:• Include Print or Web Include access date for

websites

Chicago hints: Find out which system to use

(notes-bibliography vs. author-date)

For Notes, use MS Word’s note tool
