It's Research Paper Time! ACC Library Citation Guides

Do you have a research paper due this semester?

Then it's likely you'll need to include a works cited page at the end of your paper.

Not sure how to do this?

Reach out to ACC Libraries for some assistance. We are here to help you! You can chat 24/7 with expert Faculty Librarians or Zoom a Librarian. 

There are several styles of documentation, but they more-or-less all have the same idea:

When you borrow another person's information or ideas, you need to explicitly say in your paper what is borrowed and where it is from.  

The documentation style you use depends on the disciplinary area of the course you are taking (i.e.: English or Nursing). Your professor will tell you which style to use.

For more information, check out our Citing Sources Styles page.
