 * Create a Works Cited Page**

Why create a Works Cited page? Every time you write a research paper or borrow ideas from someone else, it is important to give credit where credit is due. It is your responsibility as a writer. This not only shows courtesy to other writers but it also shows that you have done your due diligence and have done your research. Citing your sources also increases the credibility of your work, helps your readers by providing sources for further reading, and at the same time, protects you from being accused of plagiarism.

How do you create a works cited page? There are several resources showing you how to create a works cited page. My favorite is the Purdue OWL. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/
