By the way, this site does MLA style citations. Hopefully that’s what you’re looking for. If your teacher didn’t specify then MLA is a pretty safe bet.

UPDATE (to clarify after reading following answer): Since the question specifies “footnote or bibliography” I provided the following source to use for a bibliography. A correct source at that.

If you need a good source to help you with footnotes, send me an email and try to let me know what style your teacher wants your citations done in. I will be glad to help you out… and since I’m studying to be a librarian, I do know what I’m talking about.

I have written MANY papers w/ footnotes & there is a specific way in doing so. Just as there is a specific way to write a bibliography.

The first gal mentions MLA…that does NOT apply to footnotes. Becareful of the info you get here. They try to help but they DON’T know.

MLA is a much bigger pain in the a$$ than footnoting.
