Why use a Works Cited page? Some reasons: To acknowledge and give credit to sources of words, ideas, diagrams, illustrations, quotations borrowed, or any materials summarized or paraphrased. To show that you are respectfully borrowing other people’s ideas, not stealing them, i.e. to prove that you are not plagiarizing. To offer additional information to your readers who may wish to further pursue your topic. To give readers an opportunity to check out your sources for accuracy. An honest bibliography inspires reader confidence in your writing. Your teacher insists that you do a bibliography or marks will be deducted.
