The paper must be formatted according to MLA standards. Please be sure to enclose all direct quotes in quotation marks and cite the sources of your information internally and in a separate Works Cited list as shown in the MLA examples. (Remember that a direct quote is at least three words in a row taken from another source.)

The best resources (primary resources) are what we refer to as peer-reviewed sources. These would be journal articles written by professionals in the field; for example, in such publications as Art in America. Journal articles related to art can also often be found on museum web sites and certainly, at our library. Recent editions of text books are another good source of information. NEVER site information from the following publicly edited junk information sites: Wikipedia (the worst offender), Ask.com, About.com, Infoplease, etc.
