Citing Sources

There are many different styles for citing your sources.

Most of the professors at CCRI require you to cite your sources using either the Modern Language Association (MLA) or American Psychological Association (APA) format.  Check to see if your professor has a preference.  Once you select a style, it is important that you be consistent in using it throughout your paper.

See the library's Citation Help guide.

Contact the CCRI Writing Center if you need help with your writing projects.
