7. How do you know how to format the Parenthetical notation?
Parenthetical notation is designed to help a reader find the source you used in your bibliography.
THEREFORE, HERE’S THE EASY RULE:
You always put in the parentheses whatever is listed 1st for that source in your bibliography
And, you add the page # you found the fact, if there is one.

Detroit: Gale, U.S. History In Context. Web. 23 Apr This is the parenthetical notation: (“Al Capone”) Alcatraz History. Ocean View, Web. 23 Apr < This is the parenthetical notation: (Alcatraz History)
