MLA Works Cited

The key to avoiding plagiarism is to make sure you give credit to your research sources. This may be credit for something somebody said, wrote, emailed, drew, or implied. If you had to find it because you did not already know it, you must cite it.

Citations will follow MLA 9th edition formatting. Consider using Noodle Tools to create your Works Cited.
