Help with citing sources

Create a Works Cited List on NoodleBib

To create your Works Cited page for this project:

• Login to NoodleBib
• You already have a username and password. Your username is your first initial plus your full last name plus the number 21. Your password is "wcslib" All are lower case with no spaces.
• Click on the Create A New List button on the right. Be sure to choose MLA advanced (it’s the default choice), give your list any name you want, then click on Create List at the bottom.
• At this point, click on the My Lists tab at the top left. You’ll see your new list. Check the box just to the left of your list name and click on the Share button below the list name.
• Type your name (first and last) in the My Name box and “pe91” or "pe92"(without the quotes) in the class name box. (The class name must be typed exactly as above). Then click on the Share My List button. The next screen should say “The list(s) you selected have been shared successfully with pe91(or pe92)”.
• Click on Return to My Lists and click on your list to start adding citations. Mrs. Camp will be able to see and make comments on, but not change your citations.

Annotating Free Web Sources

Remember that at only one of your sources for this assignment may be from the free web. This source must include an annotation in your works cited page, justifying the website as authoritative, accurate, and appropriate to this assignment. Below is an example of a good annotation on The President's Council of Physical Fitness website:

"The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports is an advisory committee of volunteer citizens who advise the President through the Secretary of Health and Human Services about physical activity, fitness, and sports in America." This is a government web site.

Note that quotes should be used if you copy and paste your annotation directly from the website.

In-text or Parenthetical citations

For each source in your works cited list you must include at least one in-text or parenthetical citation within your paper. Once you finish your NoodleBib citation, click on the parenthetical reference link (at the right of each citation) for help with this. Each time you quote, paraphrase, or summarize another author's work, you must cite it in the text of your paper to avoid plagiarism.

A Word about Wikipedia

Although Wikipedia is a good place to to find out more about your topic and to browse for keywords to use for further searching, you may not include Wikipedia as a source in your works cited list. You may use it in a works consulted list if you like. (A works consulted list is a list of sources read but not cited in your paper. This is not required.)
