Citing and Formatting Help

Doing citations & formatting your paper? A Librarian or a writing tutor can help you format your paper and create citations in MLA, APA, or Chicago style format.

Before meeting with a Librarian or writing tutor:

• Visit our Formatting & Citation Guide for the basic rules

• Complete the Formatting & Citations Checklist to make sure you have each required element in your citations.
  • Got it? Check off that element as Good.
  • If you're not sure or need some clarification, check Needs Work and ask a Librarian or a writing tutor for help with that element.  
• Bring the completed Formatting & Citations Checklist with you when you see a Librarian or tutor!
