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