Do I need to cite definitions from a dictionary?

Answer

If you are directly quoting from a dictionary definition, then you will cite it as a Reference Book.The Library Citation Guide provides the information that you will need to create your citation - just make sure to select the citation style that your discipline uses or your professor requires (ie: APA, MLA, CMOS, ASA).
