When writing a research paper, you will need to create in-text citations when including other peoples' ideas or referring to their ideas or resources. A works cited list or references page listing the books, articles and/or websites you looked at for your paper. 

There are several different formatting styles for doing just that.  You will need to confirm with your instructor which one you need to use for a particular paper.  

The most popular have manuals to guide you in their use.  The library has these on reserve to be borrowed for use in the library and a few copies in the stacks that can be checked out of the library.

The Chicago Manual of Style Online  - available through our WCSU subscription. You can also find it in our Database List.

Haas and Young libraries have hard copies of these style sheets available in racks in the libraries.  They were contain samples of the basic citation formats for hardcopy and online resources for each of the citation formats.
