To make source cards you should use some index cards. You can use the source cards to cite books, articles, or websites. You will need to include the author, the title of the article or the book, and the copyright date on the card. You can find more information here: http://www.crlsresearchguide.org/04_Maki...

Determine what formatting and style guidelines you will use for your paper. Locate the books and periodicals you will be using. Create a source card for each reference item you have gathered for your paper.
