Create a Trail:  Citing sources produces a research trail so that those who read or hear your work can find the same materials you did.  When you conduct research for a paper, presentation, or other composition, one way you “show your work” is by citing sources. 

Avoid Plagiarizing:  You must cite any quotation, summary, or restatement of any idea or passage from your research. Citing sources is giving credit where credit is due. Not citing sources is plagiarism and can carry severe academic penalties. See the Library's Plagiarism page for more information.
