Now it’s time to cite your sources (so dreadful). BUT, when you know what information you’re looking for to cite and in what order, it really doesn’t have to be as terrible as it seems. Here is the Writing Center’s guide to MLA and APA citations 🙂
MLA in-text citations:
(Author’s name, page number)
(Author’s name) *IF YOU SAID THE PAGE NUMBER IN THE QUOTE.
(Page number) *IF YOU SAID THE AUTHOR IN THE QUOTE.
APA in-text citations:
(Author’s name, date)
(Author’s name) *IF YOU SAID THE DATE IN THE QUOTE.
(Date) *IF YOU SAID THE AUTHOR IN THE QUOTE.
MLA works cited page:
Books:
Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. City of Publication, Publisher, Publication Date.
Periodicals:

Also, I use EasyBib as a great citation source generator. It’s just very important, because EasyBib isn’t always 100% accurate, that you can locate all the necessary information you need in your citation.
Happy citing!!!
