You can either use MLA style or another form such as the Chicago Manual of Style, both of which can be searched and given examples. I normally use MLA.

For MLA style:

blah blah blah “quote in here” (Last name of author, page number).

*Though if the quote is longer than 4 lines it needs to look like this:

Blah blah blah so and so says:

(tab) quote here…………………………………………………………

(tab) ……………………………………………………………………………

(tab) ……………………………………………………………………………

(tab) ………………………………………………………. (Last name of

(tab) author, page number).

continue the paper

*the (tab)s are there as a place holder. The quote should not have quotations but all of its lines should be indented.

then at the end of the paper you must have a works cited page. For example:

Works Cited

Last name, First name. Title of book underlined. Publisher’s

(hanging indent)city: Publisher’s name, Published date.

*leave a tab space when the citation runs over two lines – hence hanging indent

Notice the punctuation and just add in the information. Search online for internet sources, though most of the information stays the same and it is all necessary.

Also on the works cited page, sources need to be listed alphabetically. So for the above example, if the author’s last name was Brown, that source would come before a book written by Smith.

Good Luck

When you cite your source right in your paper, that is called an annotation, and when you cite it at the end it is a bibliography. You can get both at www.easybib.com (just checkmark ‘yes’ to annotations and they will appear at the bottom) you can use this with every source, including books, encyclopedias, magazines, newspapers, even movies.

if you need to site it in the middle of your paper you just write the URL in (). For example:

Carp have extremely small bones. When they live in muddy waters, their meat can sometimes tatse a little muddy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carp#Types_of_carp )

If you need help with a bibliography then i HIGHLY suggest using

www.easybib.com

it is so easy and it alphabatizes them for you.

good luck!
