Your works cited page allows you to share your research with your reader and to give authors credit for their ideas.

Your professor should state their preferred citation style on the syllabus or in the assignment information. Please make sure you are using the correct citation style. The Reference Department can help you figure out when, where, and how to cite your information. We can help with internal citations and works cited pages. Below are some basic guides for our most common citation styles.

The West Library also has access to a citation creation and storage program, RefWorks. Unlike other citation tools, you do not need to enter all of the information by hand.
