Citation and proper attribution of sources rest at the core of academic research. Musselman Library provides a Citation Guide to the major citation styles with links to helpful resources online.
For more information on citation, see our citation guide.
Thinking about how to organize a large research project? You can use the following tools to help you track topics within a single article or across all of your research, helping you make connections and find gaps!
Before the library session on Wednesday, October 9, make sure to complete the tutorial on source types. It should take about 10-15 minutes to complete.
Don't forget to bring your laptops to the library session! We will be in room 14 in the library on the lower level.
Encyclopedias and handbooks are great sources to find background information on your topic. Be sure to look at the bibliographies or further reading sections for other potential sources.
Search MUSCAT Plus to see what books we have on your topic in our collection (both in print and electronically). Search WorldCat for books that we do not own, but can borrow for you through Interlibrary Loan.
