Citation Help & More
This page provides information on the three most popular citation/referencing styles (APA, Chicago, MLA), along with a guide to help you download and use Zotero, a management creation software supported by the library, as well as tips and tricks to avoid plagiarism.
Additional information on other citation/referencing styles, Zotero, or plagiarism may be found on other guides or by asking your librarian or the Research Help Desk.
Interactive Tutorials
Our award-winning tutorials have been used, licensed, and adapted by educational institutions around the world. With the recent demise of Adobe Flash, we are in the process of re-designing the tutorials in HTML5. The most popular tutorial—You Quote It, You Note It—was relaunched in October 2020. Our other tutorials will follow in 2021. We intend to make the source files of the new tutorials available by free license to institutions who wish to modify them for non-commercial research and educational purposes.
(Beta release – October 8, 2020)
