Anthropology 325: Forensic Documentation: Additional Help

Whether you choose to quote or paraphrase sources you use in your research paper, you must cite each one. For rules and examples of the APA citation style, look here:

• Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 6th ed. 2010. Reference Desk BF76.7 P83 2010
• Citing References: APA Style - (Andersen Library, UW-Whitewater)
• APA Documentation Guide - (Writing Center at UW-Madison)
• APA Formatting and Style Guide - (Online Writing Lab at Purdue)

Sometimes students will use online citation formatters provided free on the Web or within a library database. If you use one of these online formatters, remember that they are not foolproof. You will need to review your citations to make sure they are correct.

If Andersen Library does not have the item you need, the Library can usually borrow the item for you from another library. The lending service you use depends upon the resource you wish to borrow. For assistance, please contact a reference librarian.
