End Notes – You should give credit in your paper (list an author and a page number) for the following kinds of information:
- Information that is copied directly from another source.
- Information that is written in your own words but contains key words or ideas taken from another source. (Sebranek 229)
- It is not necessary to list an author and page number for information that is considered common knowledge. When you are unsure whether your information is common knowledge, it is best to give the author credit.
Books, encyclopedias, articles, etc. are cited inside the text: use parenthesis to surround the author, web site or title being referenced.
Example: The Redskins, a term coined by the US Army, tried to live peacefully on their lands. (Barr 45)
