Getting Writing Help

The library is open and able to help with research, writing, and proofreading your essay! Come join us after school Mon-Thurs 3:00-4:30. You can also always ask Ms. Marz or Ms. Carter for help and we will be there for you.


Creating Citations

  • All articles in the recommended databases will create the citation for you. Look at the bottom of the article for the "MLA Citation".
  • KnightCite will create citations for you if you look up the title of a book or article.  HOWEVER, you should always double check if the citation is complete.
  • Purdue OWL explains how to create citations for all kinds of sources
Make sure you create your citations in MLA style!


Determining Reliability

Use the CRAAP test to decide if a source from Google is reliable:
  • Currency
  • Relevancy
  • Accuracy
  • Authority
  • Purpose
