Before you begin citing your sources, ask your instructor what bibliographic style or format that he/she prefers to use (MLA, APA, Turabian, Chicago, etc.).  

The Internet changes quickly so it’s a good idea to save or print all of the pages you want to use for your citations.   You will also need to remember the “URL” or web address, such as http://www.sctcc.edu and the date you accessed the resource.
