Footnoting
An American Studies writing assignment might require footnoting or endnoting, so students should always consult with their instructors about proper forms of documentation for any project.
In general, however, footnotes and/or endnotes should include the name of the author or authors (first name first), the full title (in italics, if it is a book, magazine, newspaper, journal, or film), the place of publication, the publisher, the date, and the relevant page numbers.
The first time you cite a source, give all the relevant information.
