This document provides guidance on how to properly cite sources within presentations. It recommends including a source line on slides with borrowed graphics that cites the original source. For quotes, statistics, or important information from other sources, the source should be cited either in parentheses after the quote or on a source line. A works cited list citing all sources in the required style should be included at the end.

Presentations

2. Citing Graphics
 Include a “source” line on each
slide with borrowed graphics.
 If the source is online, you can
include a link.

3. Source: http://www.hu.mtu.edu/~cyselfe/P&TStuff/P&TWeb/Introduction

4. If all graphics are from a
single source, you may
include this information on
your title slide instead.

6. Citing quotations
 Cite direct quotations,
information, ideas, or statistics
from other sources.
 Include the author’s last name
or the title in parentheses after
the quotation, just as you would
in a paper, or
 Include a “Source” line.

7. Cite source of information in the
text if it’s an important source or
key information.
James Berlin delineates three major paradigms of
the “poetic-rhetoric binary” in English studies:
“literacy for the scientific meritocracy,” marked by
current-traditional rhetoric and literary criticism as
philology; the “liberal-cultural paradigm,” wherein
rhetoric becomes a branch of poetry, a “product of
genius,” with oral reading at the center of teaching
literature since “to those of taste the text spoke for
itself”; and the “social-democratic” that argues that
“Rhetoric in college should focus on training citizens
for participation in a democracy” (34).

8. Cite the source in a
parenthetic note if it is not
central to your argument, if
the source is not critical, or
if the source has previously
been identified.

9. The “dot-com bubble” was
characterized by investment in
online companies whose value
was highly speculative and,
usually, “grossly overvalued”
(“Dot-com Bubble”).

10.  You may include a “source line”
if all of the information on a slide
is from a single source.
 If the source is online, you may
include a link.

11. CCCC’s Position Statement:
Promotion & Tenure Guidelines for Work with Technology
It is important that candidates find ways to explain
their work in terms of the traditional areas of
teaching, research, and service, and also to explain
carefully the ways in which their work overlaps or
redefines those categories. The burden of
understanding the technology, the candidate's
specific uses of it, and the importance of such
work rests jointly on the committee and the
candidate -- it is not carried by either party
alone (emphasis added).

12. Don’t forget your list of Works
Cited!
 List references following required
style guidelines (e.g., MLA/COS,
APA/COS, Chicago/COS, etc.).
 Use bulleted list feature instead of
hanging-indent.
 Do not double space inside entries.
 Do not include graphics in works
cited or references list.
 You may have a separate list of
graphics if you choose.
