College of the Redwoods' student support services are able to assist students with the citation format styles from the APA: American Psychological Association and the MLA: Modern Language Association. However, there are hundreds of different citation formats in use. Your instructor may require you to use a different format. The library provides printed and online resource guides, and you can ask specific citation questions at the Reference Desk or using our online email or chat link, see the "More Help" tab. Listed and linked below are some library resources and tools to help you.
Did your instructor require you to cite your sources for an assignment? Did they say you had to use MLA, APA, or Chicago formatting for your paper? If so, the library can help you. Always ask your instructor what citation style should be used for research projects. See below for links to helpful resources.
We have an online guide dedicated to citation help.
We have downloadable handouts with some basic APA, MLA, and Chicago style information.
CR has a campus-wide subscription to NoodleTools, a user-friendly citation manager.
When you have questions the above sources don’t cover, you might need to consult the official style manual. Our librarians can help.
