Citation Style Guide   Tags: citation/style guides, electronic resources, online research tools, writing resources  

The key to citing any source is to:

1. be consistent in style and format;
2. have a clear and neat format;
3. present sufficient information for a reader to identify and find the work or cited passage;
4. NOT make up your own rules.

For citing material from the Web, two additional pieces of information are usually needed:

1. the electronic address or URL of the site (e.g. http://...)
2. the date you accessed the site or database

The only prize you get for taking the survey is our never-ending gratitude! Thank you in advance!

Hello and welcome to your online Citation Style Guide at Central Baptist College Library.  We have created this guide for you to use as you research and write your assigned papers, i.e. book and literature reviews, research papers, etc. 

Each tab covers a different Citation Style, complete with book reference, weblinks, definitions, and how-tos.   

If you have questions, you can email, call, or text your librarians.  We are here to assist you!

Now, it may sound silly, but have fun!
