    Entry Title: Citations and Works Cited Page (Bibliography)
    • CITATIONS
      a quote (evidence) from or reference to a book, paper, or author.  Think of it like a mailing address.  Citations help you find the source an author used.  They also help you avoid plagiarism.

      There are two types...
      1) In-line Citations (you already know this one)  Here's an example...

      Ha believes she is smart because "no one knows" (Lai, 2).

    • 2) WORKS CITED ENTRY on a WORKS CITED PAGEworks cited page is a list of works (books, websites etc..) that you referenced in the body of your paper or project.

      EXAMPLE...
