Completing a works cited page

If you have been asked to complete a works cited page the library has a tool called Noodlebib that can help. This tool will create a perfectly punctuated bibliography in an APA, MLA or Chicago punctuation style.

What do you have to do?

• Keep a copy of all the print-outs and list of sources you have used. A source can be a magazine or newspaper article, book, website, or DVD. Each article is a separate source.
  
• Remember many of our databases have several types of sources contained within them. It is not enough to know that the print out came from EBSCO, Gale or another subscription database. In EBSCO, clicking on the source will give you information about that source including its publication type (Academic journal, magazine, newspaper article, etc.)
  
• Find out what kind of citation style your professor requires. A style is just a set of rules established which explains how sources used in your paper should be presented.
  
• Understand what kind of information is needed for a citation. In most cases an author, title, publisher and date of publication are essential pieces of information needed to complete a citation. Look on the book title page to determine the title of books used. If you had to return them, searching the catalog for the titles consulted will give you all the information you need.

Still not sure what to do ask one of the librarians.
