Wikipedia
Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki>
An online tool that allows anyone to submit information on
any topic. Searching in Wikipeida is useful in that it may lead
you to useful websites or may refer to scholarly articles published
on a topic. But, because Wikis are comprised of information posted
by numerous anonymous sources, they cannot be trusted as fact. You
should never rely on information found in Wikipedia as factual.
If you do find a fact in Wikipedia that you'd like to incorporate
into your research project, please take the time to verify it in
a reliable, authorative source.
Google Scholar
Google Scholar is a
free database of peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, preprints,
abstracts and technical reports from broad areas of research. It
gets its results from a variety of undisclosed academic publishers
and professional societies. Google Scholar will retrieve results
that the traditional Google search engine will not, so it
is definitely worth searching. Sometimes a GoogleScholar link will
lead you to the full-text of an article, other times it will not.
If you cannot link directly to the full-text, check the library's
Periodicals
Title List to see if we own the journal, either eletronically
or in print.

APA Citation Style
|
|
If
using APA style, the most comprehensive and reliable source
is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association. The American Psychological Association
is the organizational body that defines proper APA style,
and this manual clearly outlines how to cite information
of any format (books, articles, chapters, web sites, government
publications).
Rolvaag Library has 3 copies of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association
in the Reference Room. Call # BF76.7 .P83 2001.

APA's own guide to citing online material, Electronic
Resources.

(articles, books, websites, etc.) in a number of different style
formats, including APA.
