Cite all sources that influences your work- even if you are paraphrasing Keep track of ALL information you collect! Easybib is a tool- the real work must be done by you!
Purpose: help readers find sources you used References should be alphabetical Double space the reference list Use hanging indent paragraph style
Complete citation may require searching! Authors and dates are often listed at the bottom of websites
Just because you found it on the internet does not mean it should be referenced as a website
Is it a credible source? Who is the author/creator? Are they qualified? Is your information recent or outdated? Why was it written? Is it biased? Do other sources support these ideas? What does it mean if you can’t answer these questions?
Be thoughtful and ask good questions Search keywords, not full sentences The internet is a tool- you must do the work Be patient- the best answer may not be Google-able! Make connections between data
Libraries Books Newspapers Magazines Interviews Public records Museums Political cartoons Maps Radio Scholarly journals Laws/legislation Videos, music, art pieces
ACTIVITY: Who is the most successful musician in 2014? How will you base this decision? What data will you use?
