Works Cited List
You MUST inform the reader what sources you use. This tells the reader if you have used relevant and up-to-date material, and it shows you know how to pick good resources. For example, If your project is about the Internet and you use information from 2010, that is very old for Internet information. If your project is about Diabetes and the Insulin discovery by Dr. Banting, then a book from 2005 may not be too old.
