From the printed page to the big screen!

The Descendants -- Nominated for Best Motion Picture: Drama



























The Help -- Nominated for Best Motion Picture: Drama


Hugo -- Nominated for Best Motion Picture: Drama


Moneyball -- Nominated for Best Motion Picture: Drama

It's that time of year again!

Amid all of the holiday hustle and bustle that seems to begin just as the turkey is eaten, the preparation begins for the completion of...term papers!  One of the biggest stresses for students during this time is figuring out how to make your paper meet APA style requirements

Here are few online resources to help you:

Son of a Citation Machine


KnightCite

Purdue OWL
Purdue OWL is personal favorite.  It will help you with the overall format of the paper, not just your references.


When you're visiting the library to work on your term paper, refer to the new APA Style Tips poster, near the computers.

Happy Writing!
