really depends on how your instructor want's it.

there is MLA, AP, APA, and others that they might want you to use.  

find out what they want.

It has a goofy name, but I've always used it and I've never had any comments about improper citations. It does both MLA and APA. You just put in the information and it formats it for you. Click "NoodleBib Express" and follow the instructions from there.

It also has a searchable knowledge base where you can find out how to format the citations yourself.

My speech professor flat out told me that MLA is crap.  You can take that for what it's worth.

There's also APA, but it's really up the prof.

Cav, get this book:
