Ceramic Art: Citing Sources

Citation Guides

The Chicago Manual of Style is the citation guide used by the Fine Arts programs at Parkland.

The following tools provide online guidance for the major citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian), with examples for both print and online sources:

• Chicago Manual of Style From Purdue Onlioine Writing Lab\
• Citing Sources  From Duke University Library
• Research and Documentation Online by Diana Hacker

Images or illustrations can enhance your papers and presentations. Like written sources, images also need to be properly cited. Always cite (give credit) where you found the image. Here are examples of the information needed.
