If you look under "vincula scholae" you'll see I've added the Owl at Purdue website about MLA and APA citation. I couldn't have gotten through university without it. Either go to the bottom of the page or click on "Research and Citation" under Navigation. Pretty much everything you need to know about making citations and a works cited page is here.
As Latinists we can consider how the Romans didn't really cite their sources the way we do. In fact, scholars spend a lot of time trying to figure out exactly who the Romans were reading and quoting. It's a lot of detective work we wouldn't be doing if the Romans had used citations. They didn't share our beliefs about "intellectual property". It wasn't that they were trying to unlawfully steal others' ideas. They just thought about scholarship and writing differently than we do today. It's something to think about.
I've also added some fun widgets on the side. Enjoy!
