Wednesday, March 21: No class.

Friday, March 23: Plagiarism test. (Yes, it's a do-over!)

Works Cited Pages

There is a sample works cited page in MLA style on page 246 in your research book. Chapter 14 provides sample citations for various types of sources. Use the following links for samples of ways to cite sources from library databases such as EBSCOhost and Newsbank.

You might also use http://www.citationmachine.net/ or http://www.easybib.com/ to help put together your works cited page. You should, however, check what you get from those cites against the samples in your book to make sure they are accurate. You could get incorrect citations for the online bibliography makers, particularly if fill in the information incorrectly to start with or if you are using a type of source that the bibliography maker doesn't recognize.
