Research papers must demonstrate accepted forms of quotations, references, and source citations. The library has a number of style guides that will help you to prepare and present research essays

by Jon Furberg and Richard Hopkins, and the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers by Joseph Gibaldi.
