Where to find citation/reference information

When you are researching your topic, you can find citing/referencing tools within many library-licensed resources.

Such as:

  • LibrarySearch
  • Subject specific databases such as PsycINFO or CINAHL
  • Google Scholar
  • WorldCat

These and many more provide the means to gather your citations/references at the point of title retrieval

See the "TOOLS to Use" tab across the top to see visuals of the different citation systems within the research tools.

 

Suggestions

In the video below called "How to format your paper in APA style in 2023" the presenter has you hitting enter after your title page to go to a new page. I recommend instead that you go to "Insert" then "Page Break."

APA 6th edition

If you are looking for help still for the 6th edition of the APA guide, you can go to the APA 6th edition guide.

Please note, it will no longer be updated.

Overview

With the advent of the new 7th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) handbook, library staff reassessed the need for the APA guide they built and made the decision to discontinue it. The major reason for this decision is there are now plenty of tools available to students and faculty to retrieve references as well as the in-text citations for those references.

Instead, this guide will provide:

  • Some significant changes/differences between the APA 6th and 7th editions
  • Links to resources
  • Visual aids to what the citation retrieval methods look like in our research databases and discovery systems
  • Information about citation tools such as Zotero and how these work within word processing systems
  • Oddball items that might be hard to find

 

For your personal use, we recommend you use the Concise Guide to APA Style: The official APA style guide for students, 7th edition, ISBN-10: 1433832739

If you would like help with APA 6th edition, please refer to the APA 6th edition guide.
