Bibliography Resources
Lancer Learners are Principled!
As researchers, it is critical that we act with honesty and integrity in giving credit to the original creators of the information and images that we use in our research. The tools on this page will help you achieve this.
A bibliography is a list of the sources used in research and/or in creating a presentation. If the original was created by someone else, you must give credit to that person or organization!
At EIMS, we follow the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, Seventh Edition.
