General guidelines for citing works
This summary of the Modern Language Association (MLA) format tells you where to place your works cited list, how to format it, plus when and how to do citations within your paper.
Copyright laws apply to students, too
Learn to use the fair use guidelines so you don’t break copyright laws. This section includes a handy notice to place on the first page of any PowerPoint or multimedia presentation.
Guidelines for citing print material, an interview, VHS, DVD or CD
Print materials include books, magazines, newspaper articles, and encyclopedias. Videos, audio recordings and interviews you do yourself all have to be cited.
Guidelines for citing items on the Internet
Professional sites, home pages, video and audio clips – if it’s online, you still have to cite it. This section includes specific examples for materials accessed through databases to which the LWSD subscribes, like Proquest or eLibrary.
