Debra's APA Citation Tips

You are responsible for learning and using the APA style guidelines when formatting your paper and citing your resources. There are many resources available to assist you with APA, so be proactive and seek the help that best fits your needs.

Are you struggling with APA style because you lack the computer (word processing) skills to create margins, annotations, block indents, headings, or double spacing? Check out the short, FREE, highly-visual computer tutorials available from GCFlearnfree.org

• The site includes computer basics and software tutorials on Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and OpenOffice.org as well as social media
• Tutorials on most versions of Office are available
• Quickly access step-by-step directions, screen shots and short video-clips of how to perform various software functions
• Remember that your basic formatting questions can be answered by the Library’s Computer Support Print Services staff as well as Reference staff

Think about APA style requirements and gather citation information while you research. Don't wait until the end of the writing process to do your citations. A large amount of student stress arises from having to back track and relocate images and resources in order to acquire citation details. I recommend that you do one or more of the following:

1. Use the COD Library APA Citing Sources pages for 7th ed.
• It contains examples of how to cite images including diagnostic images
• An annotated bibliography may be required as a part of your coursework.
• An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources used in your paper/project. The annotated bibliography looks like a Reference page but includes an annotation (a brief paragraph) after each source cited. Annotated bibliographies can be part of a larger research project, or can be a stand-alone report in itself.
• If required, annotated bibliographies should be double-spaced
• Content of annotations varies dependent upon assignment and instructor preference. For example, many COD instructors require that in 3-5 sentences you explain two things in your annotated bibliography: 1.) the reasons why you think the source is credible (see Debra's evaluating sources guide) and 2.) how this resource fits into your final project (it has overview information, it provides treatment options, etc). APA does not specify the content of annotations so be sure to check with your instructor about what should be included.
• The formatting of annotations can vary. Some guides suggest that annotations should be block indented five spaces, other guides recommend block indenting five spaces plus two (for a total of seven spaces). NoodleBib annotations use the seven space block indent format. Check with your instructor for preferred formatting.
• Sample Annotated Bibliography (Word Document)
2. Get a writing handbook or an APA style guide like these examples (remember that there are many more resources available in the COD Library or online):
APA Style from the American Psychological Association provides the latest style, formatting and grammar recommendations for APA 7th edition
Online Writing Lab (OWL) from Purdue University
• http://owl.english.purdue.edu/
• Explains general 7th ed. APA format requirements (margins, headers, spacing, font, paragraph indentation, sections, etc.)
• provides written explanations and visual examples of in-text and reference citations
• includes sample APA papers
• Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association
  • General & Reference: BF76.7 .P83

Tips to Finding
Quality Information
on the Internet

• Isolate the key concepts and words to be searched, including word variations and synonyms
• Determine the type of information needed (general or technical information? Adult audience or children/adolescents?)
• Use a search engine like Google http://www.google.com/ and Yahoo http://www.yahoo.com or take advantage of established, pre-selected Internet collections like C.O.D’s Health Sciences & Nursing research guides http://codlrc.org/research or MEDLINEplus http://www.medlineplus.gov/
• Carefully evaluate the credibility of the source and the quality of the information retrieved
• For evaluation tips and information, see below

Books, Videos & Models

Use the Library catalog to search the COD Library's collection of books, videos, e-books, models, and streaming media. Use your COD Library card to check these items out. Use your MyAccess credentials to access online resources (Ebooks, journal articles (databases) and streaming videos.

If the COD Library doesn't have the items that you need, faculty and students can borrow the book from participating I-Share Libraries. If neither COD nor any of the I-Share libraries own the book that you need, COD's Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service is free for library card holders.

Reference Materials

Reference materials are current, well indexed, organized, concise, and highly credible. They provide overviews, definitions, specific information and additional resources. Types of reference books include: directories, dictionaries and encyclopedias, basic health books (describing diseases and conditions), and drug resources. Unless a reference work is in an electronic format such as an e-book, remember that you will have to photocopy, or write down the information that you need because print reference books remain in the Library.

Sample Reference Materials:
Gale Encyclopedia entries found in the Gale eBooks Database (full-text, online encyclopedias)
Stedman's Dental Dictionary: Illustrated REF RK27 .S744

Search Strategies

Call Number Ranges

Use these call numbers to browse the General and Reference Collection shelves.

Keyword Searches

Do a keyword search of the Library catalog using words that are specific to your topic. Try using specific keywords, such as proper names, combining several keywords, or using keyword phrases. For example:

• (anesthe* OR anaesthe*) AND dental
• blood type AND diet
• Robert Atkins
• paleo diet
• OSHA AND dent*
• emergencies AND "dental office*"
• For more tips on creating keyword searches, see the Journal Articles section of this guide

Subject Searches

Do a subject search of the Library catalog using some of the subject headings listed below:

• Dental Assistants
• Dental Hygiene
• Dental Hygienists 
• Dental Ethics
• Mouth Diseases
• Nutrition and Dental Health
• Periodontics
• Reducing Diets
• Teeth

Anatomical Models

Anatomical Models (HTML link) (and nutrition models) are available at the main Library circulation desk.

Journal Articles

The Library provides access to many online article databases that will help you locate journal, magazine, and newspaper articles. You can search by keyword, subject, author and title.

You will use your MyAccess credentials to access the electronic indexes and databases from off-campus.

Newspaper Databases
Includes Chicago Tribune, New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and more

Databases by Subject
Choose an database according to your subject of interest.

• Begin your research in the Health and Medicine Databases
  • Each database contains different resources (journals, e-books, magazines, newspapers, pamphlets, etc.) Run your search in several databases. Read the database descriptions to locate databases most relevant to your search.

  Database (and Library catalog) Advanced Search Tips

  • Use the features of the database (print, navigation) before going up to the Explorer bar and using the back or print buttons
  • For keyword searching, use the advanced search feature so that you can use multiple terms and set limits (date range, peer-reviewed, full text, etc)
  • Remember that databases require you to spell correctly
  • To limit your search results to journals with editorial boards (or some type of review process by health professionals) look under the “limit” section of the initial search page. Select the option to limit to peer reviewed (some databases also call them refereed publications). Refereed publications and peer reviewed are synonyms for board-reviewed or scholarly journals. Don’t forget to set your date limits too!
  • When creating your search strategy, take a moment to write down your key words and any synonyms (alternative words meaning the same thing) that might be used. Also think about how you connect your key words together.
  • Connect different concepts with the word AND indicating that you want both concepts to appear in each retrieved article.
  • Connect variations (different words could be used for the same thing) with OR indicating that at least one variation should occur in the articles retrieved.
  • Put parentheses around actions that you want to be done first (just like you may have done in an algebra class).
  • Here are some examples of synonyms and “nesting” (using parentheses):
  • dental AND (caries OR cavities)
  • (radiogr* OR xray* OR x-ray* OR diag* imag*)
  • Put the key concepts together like this example:
    dental AND (caries OR cavities) AND (radiogr* OR xray* OR x-ray* OR diag* imag*)
  • capitalize connecting words (AND, OR) to let the database know that you are giving a command not just listing a word to be found
  • Use an asterisk (*) to find all possible endings. For example, imag* finds image, images, imagery, imaging

Below are some helpful Dental Hygiene-related Web Sites. The College of DuPage and the COD Library do not create or control any of these resources, and they will not be held responsible for misuse of information or any adverse effects of recommendations stated in these resources. Health Information should always be discussed with your health care provider, who can interpret it for you and apply it to your individual case.

REFERENCE BOOKS

Why Reference Sources?

Is your research topic too big to cover in a short paper?  Is your topic so specific that sources will be hard to find?

Before you even begin your research, start the process with reference sources-- in the Library's Reference Section or online in our databases.  Reference books, like subject encyclopedias, can give you a head start and make your research easier in the long run.  Use reference sources to:

• find a topic
• narrow your topic
• find keywords
• get background information on your topic
