A new research guide has been created and put online that addresses the proper format for citing sources in APA, MLA, and Chicago Style and can found here: http://library.gmu.edu/research/citationguide.pdf
Of course this guide is for quick reference and for a full explanation of each style, consult the manuals. We have several useful sources in the library’s reference collection, including these popular titles:
