How to cite sources and why

 How to cite sources:  Always tell where you got your information.  You need to tell the author, title, publication or internet address of all information and pictures used for reports and projects.  Here are some links to help you compile your bibliography or works cited page.  The Dexter Regional High School English Department requires the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers available at the Library.  For quick reference you can go to the MLA web page then click on MLA Style. You will find answers to most of your bibliography questions at the "Frequently asked Questions about MLA Style."

You can use the following link for a web based bibliography maker at  www.easybib.com or
