On a sheet of paper properly cite each of the following sources using
both APA and MLA methods.

Note: When you use on-line sources that also have a print version, (e.g. Boston Globe / bostonglobe.com) cite the version you used. However, since we are unable to reproduce books, magazines and similar works on an electronic medium, for the sake of getting practice citing print sources, use only the Web citation method if instructed. Otherwise, treat the source as if you were in the library and holding it in your hands.

Check your answers on the citing sources page, or if you're doing this as part of a class exercise, ask your instructor to check your answers.
