Cite your sources

Faculty regularly say "cite your sources". You must tell your reader where you got the information. GALILEO has a quick tutorial on citing sources.

At the ProQuest workshop I learned there is a way to create a bibliography within ProQuest - the sources will be cited using APA or MLA or several other ways of citing sources.
How can you make it do this?

Go to GALILEO
.....Select Research Library (at ProQuest) [on the left side of the screen, to the right of South America]
..........Search for your topic
................Open the document - read, decide if that's the one you'll use in your report (yesterday I wrote this is where you can translate the document)
......................If this is a "keeper" - notice the box - Mark document (center of the screen to the right of Email) click on that box
See how the last green tab (My Research) has a document in it?

Keep opening and reading the articles. When you're finished with your reading and note taking and marking the articles, the My Research tab will have quite a few documents in it.

Click on the My Research tab
The top link says Create your bibliography. Once you've selected that link note the options you have available to you!
Print- if you cancel the print job you can read the bibliography on the screen
Download offers you the opportunity to save the file as a text file on a floppy or flash drive or the hard drive.

Great way to make sure you've got the bibliography in the correct format.
