You will want to cite or credit your sources whenever you use someone else's work.  For example, if you use ideas or information from a book, a magazine article, a website, or even another person you need to say where you got your information.

Why do I cite my sources?  It is called plagiarism when you do not give credit for ideas, words, quotes, or other information that you did not write yourself.

How do I cite my sources?  You can create your own bibliography or you can use one of the bibliography makers available online. 

When do I cite my sources?  You should cite your source or sources anytime you borrow or quote someone else's work.  Some examples would be a science fair project, a book report, or a social studies project.

Where do I find an online bibliography maker?  Try one of these websites for an easy-to-use bibliography maker.  There may be other bibliography makers available, but these seem best for elementary school students.

Easy Bib doesn't require a username or password and allows you to save your bibliography or print it directly.

Noodle Tools requires you to create a username and password before you can use their bibliography maker.
