Question: If I find some statistics, information that I can summarize, or a few good quotes that support the thesis I am developing, how can I use them without plagiarizing?
Answer: First, copy down all the publishing data from the source. That will go in a bibliography, called a Works Cited, at the end of the paper. Each book citation should have the author, title, city, publisher, and year. Here are some examples:
(Book) Twain, Mark. On the Damned Human Race. New York: Noonday, 1988. Note the Date format: Day Month Year
(Periodical --Magazine, newspaper, etc.) Hafen, Lyman. "Here Comes the Sun." Utah Holiday 16 Mar. 1990:
11-15.
(Online Periodical) Acocella, Joan. “Russian Rush.” The New Yorker 2 Aug. 2004: 49+. Academic Search Premier.
EBSCO. Dixie State College Lib. 26 July 2005 http://ehostvgw5.epnet.com/.
Okay, I've got that. This goes at the end of the paper, in a Works Cited. But what about in the paper? When I quote or paraphrase from Mark Twain, for example, don't I need a footnote, endnote, or something?
Answer: Good question. There is a very simple way to show your reader where borrowed information is used. It is simpler than footnotes or endnotes, which you might have used before. First, you quote, summarize, or paraphrase the words you want to use. Then, in parentheses ( ), you write the author's last name and the page of the source where the data came from. EXAMPLE: (Twain 122). This is called parenthetical documentation. I'll show you some more examples.
A) As a quote from Twain's book above: An American writer remarked, "Patriotism is merely a religion--love of country, worship of country, devotion to the country's flag and honor and welfare" (Twain 39).
B) As a paraphrase (yes, even though you summarize an author's ideas in your own words, you still must tell us the source): A nineteenth century writer described patriotism as a religion or form of devotion (Twain 39).
C) Putting the author's name directly in the text (this is a convenient way to introduce the source of your data): Mark Twain described patriotism as "merely a religion.. ."(39).
D) Summarizing a work as a whole, which does not require you to list specific pages.: Mark Twain's On the Damned Human Race contains a number of essays that show Twain's growing cynicism
towards humankind and religion.

Human Sources -- While our library has a fair selection of books, periodicals, CD-ROM, and online resources, the strength of our library is the group of professional, user-friendly reference librarians who can tell you (or remind you) how to make your searches effective and can suggest a variety of potential resources. Ask them for help; they will be happy to give it.
