Be sure to credit the sources you use for a research project -- whether printed books and journals or online texts, websites, etc. If you are not familiar with MLA format, Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL) is a great resource. The library has a copy of The MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers at the Reference Desk, as well as an online version (come see us at the reference desk for the username and password).
