Q 88
Source cards
– You will have FEWER source cards than
note cards.
– You will record all the information for an
entry on your References page on its
source card.
– You will have one source card for EACH
source you use to write your paper.
– You will NUMBER each source card as
you create the source card.
– Once you decide to use a source, create a
source card with all its source information .
Note cards
– You will have numerous note cards. (75-100
for this paper.) You will have MANY MORE
note cards than source cards. Each note card
will have a number of a corresponding source
card.
– On the note card, you will write the number of
its source card so that you know where the
information came from when you use it.
– The note card will contain a quotation (or
specific factual information like statistics), a
paraphrase, or a summary. Q, F, P, S
– The note card will NOT contain any source
information, only a source card number.

Authors' names are inverted (last name first); give the last name and initials for all authors of a particular
work for up to and including seven authors. If the work has more than seven authors, list the first six
authors and then use ellipses after the sixth author's name. After the ellipses, list the last author's name of
the work.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
If you have more than one article by the same author, single-author references or multiple-author
references with the exact same authors in the exact same order are listed in order by the year of
publication, starting with the earliest.
When referring to books, chapters, articles, or Web pages, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of
a title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns. Do not capitalize the
first letter of the second word in a hyphenated compound word.
Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as journal articles or
essays in edited collections.

What’s the difference between quoting,
paraphrasing, and summarizing?
Quotations must be identical to the original. They must
match the source document word for word and must be
attributed to the original author.
Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source
material into your own words. A paraphrase must also be
attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is
usually only a bit shorter than the original passage, taking
a somewhat broader segment of the source and
condensing it slightly.
Summarizing involves putting the main idea(s) into your
own words, including only the main point(s). Once again,
it is necessary to attribute summarized ideas to the original
source. Summaries are significantly shorter than the
original and take a broad overview of the source material.
Why should I use quoting,
paraphrasing, and summarizing?
