Styles

Bibliographic citations and footnotes credit the author and enable the reader to locate source material. As you compile and cite references, be sure to observe a consistent style -- that is, don't mix APA-style citations with MLA-style references, for example. Complete citations to online or electronic resources are also required in the same manner as for printed sources.

The major style guides are:

MLA (Modern Language Association)

Gibaldi, Joseph. MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 2009. Call Number: Reference LB2369 .G53 2009

APA (American Psychological Association)

American Psychological Association. Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Washington, D.C.: American Psychological Association, 2001. Call number: Reference BF76.7 P83 2001

Chicago Manual of Style

Primarily used by authors, editors and publishers, the 15th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style is available in Seymour Library. Call number: Reference Z253 U69 2003.
