APA Citation Tutorial

 

APA Citation Tutorial

At SJR State, many of your courses will require you to use the American Psychological Association's (APA) citation and format style for your academic work. This tutorial provides an overview of APA style. It is an excellent place to start to learn about using the APA format.

Research and Resource Guides

The librarians create Research Guides or LibGuides, to guide students to quality information in a variety of areas based on subject matter or course.  The Research Guides generally include book and database recommendations as well as citation assistance, websites and more.  Contact Joyce Smith if you would like to have a Guide created for one or more of your courses.
