Footnotes/Endnotes tell the reader where you got your information from. In our case you will be connecting your footnotes/endnotes to the quotes you are using in each paragraph so I know where you got your quote from. It is similar to a bibliography. Generally you will have your quotes/citations with the end/footnote and then a separate bibliography.
Each quote will get a number (footnote or endnote formatting in word if you are typing) and then it will take you to the foot/end note with the same number. Here is the info you will provide:
For a book:
Author First Name, Author Last Name, Title of the Source, Page Numbers (or location).
Michael Pollan, The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals (New York: Penguin, 2006), 99–100.
For a website:
Author (if available first then last), “Title of Webpage,” Name of Website, publication or last modified date/date accessed, URL.
History.com editors, “Trojan War,” https://www.history.com/articles/trojan-war. December 18, 2009.
If you use a source more than once, you can use the short form for the second time. Here are examples of the short form:
