citing. Click on the format
scroll and choose the
resource. Then hit the Create
Citation button. We will
choose Website as an
example.
Narrow the kind of website
used, so the program can find
the proper citation page.
You will be asked to fill in blanks, so your citation can be
prepared. It will not correct your spelling here.
You will then be asked to write an
Annotation to remind you of the
central subject matter.
Then Check For Errors before you
click on the Citation tab.
Suggestions to correct the citation appear.
Here is your Citation and Annotation. Take time to click on the various
options. For example, you can share this with your group.
If anything is not spelled properly, you can
Edit or Delete the page.
Article Website
Click whether it is a Primary, Secondary,
or Tertiary Source.
Sources:
 Primary: The person involved at the event. For example, Thomas Jefferson was involved
with writing the US Constitution, so he is a Primary Source on the subject.
 Secondary: Someone who witnessed an event, but not involved in it. Miss Ima Neighbor
lived next door to Jefferson who would tell her about the writing of the Constitution, but
she was never involved in the actual event. She is a Secondary Source on the subject.
 Tertiary: Someone who knows of it but never witnessed the event or knows of anyone
who was there. Miss Ida Rhoda Book published a history of the Constitution, but lived
well after the event. She is a Tertiary Source.
Note: If John Smith wrote an article about Ida Rhoda Book, then Ida becomes the
Primary Source because she is the primary witness to her own life and works.
