Why do we cite our sources?
Whenever you do research, it is important to include a list of the information resources you use. When you use someone else's ideas or work, you must give them credit by citing your source of information. Otherwise, you are stealing someone else's work!
You also want to cite your sources so that people know where to go to find out more information about your topic.

Don't Google it!
Search Engines like Google can be a very helpful tool when we need quick information (like movie theater times, or directions to a new restaurant). However, since everyone has access to publishing content on the Internet you need to use it with caution!
*If you use a web resource that is not from our library databases you must complete a website evaluation form.
