You must cite all of your sources (including websites) in papers and projects.

The following citation formats are required by certain departments at Gann Academy:

• APA (American Psychological Association): Science Department
• Chicago Style: History Department
• MLA (Modern Language Association of America): English Department

For detailed information about each style, including how to cite sources and how to prepare reference lists/bibliographies/Works Cited pages, please see the handbooks in the Gann Library:

• Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. 6th edition. Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association, 2009.
• The Chicago Manual of Style. 15th edition. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003.
• MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. 6th edition. New York: The Modern Language Association of America, 2004.

For quick reference, see the library's guides below:

• Gann Academy APA Format Citation Guide
• Gann Academy Chicago Manual of Style Citation Guide

Sometimes you may be asked to create an annotated bibliography, which is a list of citations of a variety of sources (books, articles, videos, websites, etc.) that also has a short paragraph describing and evaluating each particular source. This paragraph is called an annotation. Each annotation should briefly cover content, intended audience, illustrations, and unique features. The paragraph should be single spaced with the first line indented.
