### *Harvard Guide to Using Sources*

The *Harvard Guide to Using Sources*, a publication of the Harvard College Writing Program that outlines the fundamentals of using sources in academic papers, can also be found on the University Resources website or at <http://usingsources.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do>. Although this resource was designed for undergraduates at Harvard College, it provides helpful and important information for students at all levels who are engaged in scholarly writing.

The *Guide* is designed as a text that should be read from beginning to end. Once you have read the entire Guide, you will then have a better idea of which sections you will want to review at different points in your research process. The Guide is divided into six sections:

- *Why Use Sources?* provides an overview of what you will be expected to do with sources in college writing.
- *Locating Sources* offers a brief introduction to the Harvard libraries.
- *Evaluating Sources* explains the questions you should ask as you determine whether particular sources are reliable and suitable for your project.
- *Avoiding Plagiarism* provides an in-depth explanation of what constitutes plagiarism and how to avoid it.
- *Integrating Sources* provides guidance about how to integrate the ideas from sources into your paper.
- *Citing Sources* contains citation examples in MLA style and APA style, as well as a link to the *Chicago Manual of Style*.
