What does it mean to get research help?

Either through email, a one-on-one appointment or on chat, a librarian can help with:

• Developing your topic through research
• Developing a search strategy (selecting places to search, using the best keywords, finding sources)
• Evaluating sources for authority, credibility and scholarly value
• Using information ethically with proper citation

• All About Plagiarism tutorial

• Writing Center - in person and virtual consults

• Public Speaking Center - offering virtual consults

I recommend using a full citation manager like NoodleTools for citing in APA rather than using automatic citation machines. A citation manager is more accurate and allows you to organize your research and create bibliographies.

I also think that a visit to our Writing Center is a good move if you want to chat about citations along with your writing.
