CITE THE INFORMATION IF:

• You use or describe specific information you have taken from a source
  (as Andrea del Verrocio's pupil Leonardo da Vinci studied in a collaborative environment, sometimes even working with Verrocio himself (Shneiderman, 112).)
   
• You refer to a theory or idea from a source
  (Shneiderman believes that collaborative learning increases positive outcomes(224).
   
• You  include any image (picture, table, graph) from a source.

YOU DON'T NEED TO CITE IF:

• The information you use is common knowledge
  (There are two main types of elephants, Asian and African).
   
• The information you use can be easily found and verified by most people
  (Abraham Lincoln was 56 years old when he was assassinated)
