When preparing a term paper or project, it is important to properly cite your sources to document where your information came from. Citing sources properly helps avoid plagiarism and demonstrates to your professor what steps you went through in compiling your research. There are several popular citation styles - before choosing a particular style, please check with your professor to determine which you should use for your assignment! Tools like EndNote Web can help you keep track of all of your sources and build your bibliography as you write.
