Tutorial: Citing your sources

Information to cite

Make sure you note down the details of all sources you use. This saves time later when you start writing your essay and need to acknowledge a source.

You can either keep a paper record or use EndNote. EndNote is a database available on campus which allows you to store and organize a reference list or bibliography. You can use EndNote with Word to automatically create your reference list/bibliography.

What information do I need for my reference list or bibliography?

Books Author or editor, title, edition (if not first), publisher, place of publication, year of publication, page numbers used.
Chapters You will need all of the above information, as well as the chapter author(s), chapter title and page numbers.
Journals Author of article, title of article, title of journal, volume number, issue number, year of publication, page numbers
Web Sites Author, title of web page, date viewed, URL.
