Preparing your Bibliography

For this assignment, you will be required to use the MLA Citation Style. Remember, you not only have to cite direct quotes, but also text that you paraphrase. Anything you write that is not an original thought must be properly cited! For help, see the Citing Sources page, pick up an MLA Style sheet from the help desk, or ask a librarian!
