Cite Right

There are minimum requirements recognized throughout academia on the proper use of citations in the classroom setting. This is especially true for many of the non-traditional resources found today such as web pages, wikis, blogs, e-mails and other faculty presentations. Use the resources on the new Faculty Attribution Page, created by the Lamar Soutter Library, as a guide when citing materials used in PowerPoint presentations, BLS Vista learning modules and class handouts. Cite right – your colleagues will thank you and your students will thank you.
