We really like this site; it provides examples of both MLA style and APA style for writers of research papers. Books, articles, websites, and other stuff are all treated differently when creating your bibliography. Find the answers online here, or in print in the MLA Handbook for Writers!

Google Scholar
Use Google Scholar to find scholarly books and articles on the internet. If you search Google Scholar from a computer at Swarthmore, it will automatically provide an option to access the resource through Swarthmore if it is available. Look for the Find It @ Swarthmore link!
