Citation+Help

After you have researched you must make sure to list your sources, which is called citing your sources. Citing your information prevents you from plagiarizing. Below are a few websites you can use to make your citations. Remember, if you use one of the databases the citation is already given to you at the bottom of the page. Whenever you start writing on a second or third line you need to use a hanging indent.
