How to Cite Sources - Francis A. Drexel Library @ SJU

Guides to Citing Sources

Please note:

The print editions of the leading style guides are considered the authoritative source.

The ACS, APA, ASA, Chicago, MLA, and Turabian style guides are available in our Library at the Information Desk. Additionally, The Pocket Keys for Writers summarizes the major styles and will answer most questions on citing (available at the Information Desk and the University Bookstore).
The following links are listed to supplement the print editions.
