It's important to cite your sources. You will often be required to cite sources when writing essays, discussion boards, or even when making presentations. Citation helps to not only support your argument and show that you know what you're talking about, but it also helps to give credit to the hard word of those people who created the information you quote or reference in your work. It also enables your readers to look up more information on the topic!
In classes, you may be asked to cite sources in different formats (most commonly MLA or APA). This page provides basic references (for this book) in the most common citation formats.
