Bibliography
…While a citation in a

more information
about each source at
the end of your paper.

6. 
 Take place when you are providing information
from a source (website, journal, book, etc.) that you
are quoting, summarizing or paraphrasing.
So when you are citing within your paper, you’re giving
immediate acknowledgement to an idea that was taken from another
source (Smith 23-25)
In text citations:

7. 
 Quoting: When you take a direct line from any
source (whether it's a book, article, song and so on)
you are quoting.
 Paraphrasing: When you are taking something from
a source and putting it in your own words to clarify
a passage.
 Summarizing: Like paraphrasing, you are taking
something from a source and putting it in your own
words, but in this case you are just going over the
main points of the passage.
What is quoting, summarizing
and paraphrasing?

10. 
 No matter how you present the information, it
should be cited, no matter what!
 In MLA, the in text citation should be in parenthesis
at the end of the quote, summary, or paraphrase
(Smith 149-200).
 If you mention the authors name at the beginning of
the your quote, paraphrase or summary just include
the pages only (149-150).
