Make sure that when you
write your paper that you give credit to others' words and ideas by citing those
works. What do you need to cite?
Cite exact copies of others' words by placing
quote marks (" ") around the original and providing a parenthetical footnote;
obviously the work referred to in the parenthetical footnote will be on your works cited
page or bibliography.
example of quoting an exact
copy of original words and a parenthetical footnote:
According to Barton, "Abraham Lincoln had
never remembered the time when he did not believe slavery to be wrong. From the time
that he saw slaves chained and sold in the New Orleans market, he had felt some measure of
moral accountability for a system which prevailed in his country and which his conscience
condemned" (335).

Lincoln. Vol. 1. Indianapolis:
