Giving Presentations

Do I need to cite sources in a presentation? How do I cite sources?

All sources you use to create your presentation should be credited. There are a few ways you can cite your sources in a presentation:

1. Provide references verbally and in a reference/works cited list on the last slide 
2. Provide in-text citations as well as a reference/works cited list on the last slide

Make sure your audience knows where you got any information, images, videos or other sources you used to create your presentation. 

General citing tips also apply to presentations:

1. Use a formal citation style.
2. Apply the citation style consistently. Don't switch between APA and MLA.

For more help citing sources, check out the library's citation guides.
