Are you putting together a list of works cited for a communication research paper and having trouble with citation formats? There are several places you can turn for help:
* Online guides to APA and MLA from the Writers' Workshop at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.You'll find instructions and examples for the most common types of references and in-text citations -- and for some less common types, as well.
* The APA Style Guide to Electronic References (BC login required)
* Style manuals at the O'Neill Reference Desk. Ask for manuals on APA and MLA (as well as Chicago, Turabian, and others) at the desk. These are the official manuals and can help you figure out the right way to cite common and uncommon resources.
* APA Exposed: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About APA Format but Were Afraid to Ask. Online tutorial prepared by a graduate student at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
* RefWorks. If you're already using RefWorks, you probably know about the bibliography tool. If not, it might be a little late to learn everything about RefWorks, but get in touch with me and I can give you some tips on how to make the most of it in a short time.
Finally, don't be afraid to ask for help from me (in any of the usual ways) or from any of the librarians at the Reference Desk.
