This document provides guidelines for citing different types of sources in an essay, including maps, webpages, and information from websites. It explains that maps need a caption (e.g. Fig. 1) and citation in the works cited. When citing a webpage, the author should include the author/site name, article/section title, website name, publisher, date posted online, and date retrieved. Both paraphrasing and direct quotes from websites require in-text citations with the author and date, as well as a corresponding entry in the works cited page.
