Cite Your Sources  

The VC/UHV Library subscribes to a resource called RefWorks - a web-based product is designed to help you manage your references and create bibliographies.

It is free of all current VC and UHV faculty, students and staff.

Click the link below for our research guide on using RefWorks.

This guide provides links to websites and handouts to help you format in-text citations and bibliographies in popular styles such as APA, MLA and Chicago. 

Quick Tips:

• If you are unsure of which citation style to use, ask your instructor.
• As you research and gather sources, make sure you save all of your citation information (title, author, publisher, journal title, year of publication, etc.) so you have the information ready when it comes time to write your paper.
• The UHV Academic Center has a Quick Reference Guide for APA and MLA citation styles.
• Ask for help! Victoria College students can get assistance from the Tutoring Center in Johnson Hall room 106. University of Houston-Victoria students can make an appointment with the Academic Center for assistance.

The following resources are helpful for creating individual citations for a book, journal article, website and more. Electronic citation tools are not perfect and you should consult the appropiate citation manual to ensure accuracy.
