MLA, APA, Chicago style.... Who can remember all of the various citation forms? I use these two websites, Purdue's OWL  and Nuts and Bolts.

I think the nuts and bolts website is a bit easier to follow, but that's just me. Just scroll down either website and find the type of citation that you need: book, magazine article, movie, online journal, and so on. Next, copy and paste the citation example from the website right into your paper. Match your citation to the example, and that's it. Oh, and don't forget to delete the website example before you turn in your paper. Simple, huh?
