Any citation you provide should enable your reader to find that source. Make sure your citation gives the reader the information he or she needs to find the source you used.
Citing the sources of information you used is not really hard; it just takes a bit of time. There are many different citation styles, but most students need to learn to follow the conventions of only MLA or APA. Style guides are about more than just citing sources of information or ideas. Guides can help you improve the style of your writing and avoid bias, for example.
Most of the major style guides can be found at Pace University's Campus Libraries. Information you need to locate the books (call numbers and locations) can be found here. Ask at the circulation or reference desk if you're having trouble finding a book.
