The latest edition of Harbrace
Essentials
, by Cheryl Glenn and Loretta Gray, provides guidelines for four
different methods of citing sources; Modern Language Association style; Chicago Manual
of Style; American Psychological Association style; and Council of Science Editors
style.


Most teachers would agree with the following
statement:


readability="9">

There is no single, "right" way to cite a source;
there are various ways required in different circumstances and by different teachers,
and it is important to follow your teacher's precise directions.  -- Robert C. Evans

If you are writing your
paper for an English class, the preferred choice is probably the Modern Language
Association style.  If you are writing your paper for a history class, the preferred
choice is probably the Chicago Manual of Style.  You may want to ask your teacher which
of these two styles of documentation s/he prefers.


For
examples of how to cite interviews using the MLA and CMS methods, see the links
