Tips and Tricks for Citing Your Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- Be cautious when using websites as sources. In addition to the questionable reliability of many sites, they can also be very difficult to cite properly. Citing electronic sources requires an author\u2019s name, publisher, and date of publication, information that many websites lack. The Writing Center recommends using the library databases for research as much as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Citations can be tricky, but they’re important to do correctly to avoid plagiarism. If you’re unsure about how to cite a source, drop by the Writing Center and we’ll be happy to help!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
