Developing Source Cards

KEEP A SEPARATE 3X5 CARD FOR EVERY NEW SOURCE. WRITE ON EACH ONE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

• ALL OF THE PUBLICATION INFORMATION NEEDED TO INCLUDE THE WORK IN YOUR FINAL "WORKS CITED" AND "WORKS CONSULTED" PAGES. (This will save time because you will not have to look up the information again.)
• ALL OF THE INFORMATION ON EACH CARD IN PROPER MLA FORM. (Consult the examples in this guide for correct form. If you follow the correct form the first time, you will not have to do your work twice.)
• THE CALL NUMBER OF THE BOOK. (If a book is out or not in the library, you can find it at a later time without looking up the number - another time saver.)
• A CODE LETTER to connect your source card to note cards derived from this source.
