Climate Change at Monmouth

This guide was originally created in conjunction with the Guggenheim Library's Spring 2020 Climate Change exhibit, and will help you locate information, programs and related resources on Climate Change available to the Monmouth University community.

Cite Your Sources

Citation is your indication that certain material in your work came from another source. It also provides readers with the information necessary to find that source again. Giving credit to the original author by citing sources is the only way to use other people's work without plagiarizing.

The following situations almost always require citation:

  • quotation
  • paraphrasing
  • use of an idea not your own
  • specific reference to the work of another
  • use of someone else's work to develop your own ideas
