Most FHS departments use MLA format for citing sources; some Social Studies classes will use Chicago style. Always confirm expectations with your teacher.  

Quick reference on MLA Citation Style from Long Island University.

 

Your teacher may allow you to use or check an automatic citation generator like Easybib.com or Ottobib.com.

For books, both of these will look up the reference using the ISBN (International Standard Book Number -- look above the bar code or behind the title page). If one is not provided, you may be able to find information using the Library of Congress Card Catalog Number (LCCN) and a search engine like Google.  If you do use this method, be sure to double-check that your results are accurate and complete. Don't forget the author and title of any articles you quote from longer works (like encyclopædias or anthologies).

Many of our electronic resources include formatted citations either right on the page or through a link. This is also true of some free reference sites like Answers.com. For more information about any web site you are considering as a source, see EasyWhoIs.com.

More broadly: Digital Citizenship

 

To paraphrase from Sources and Citation at Dartmouth College (pdf, p. 4) :

In coming to Foxborough High School, you join a scholarly community, a group engaged in various intellectual conversations. Some of these conversations have continued for several terms, some for decades, and others for centuries. Your teachers want you to join in. Every FHS student has the capacity to contribute new perspectives to the ongoing conversation of scholarship. The faculty and librarian will help you.
