  17. Question by Question Guidance – the database tools you’ll use on Module 2:

  18. 2.1 – Take note of option to zoom into sets of data tables extracted from many of these full statistical report PDFs Options for sorting, refining and narrowing results appear at left margin (or right margin) in many databases

  19. 2.1 – A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT requiredin your APA citation for this subscription database/Listing a DOI – “Digital Object Identifier” also not required. Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.1)– for List of ReferencesBureau of Transportation Statistics (Department of Transportation) (2014). Estimated National Emissions of Sulfur Dioxide [By Source, Selected Years, 1970-2013] (Page no. 302 Table no. 210). [Data file]. Retrieved from ProQuest Statistical Insight database. – In text citation (Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2014)

  20. 2.2 – ProQuest …also used for Exercise 4.5 Select desired date range. Article (for Ex. 2.2) must have been published in past 6 months! Use “Source Type” menu for limiting results to magazines or newspapers.

  21. A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT requiredin your APA citation for this subscription database/Listing a DOI – “Digital Object Identifier” also not required. Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.2)– for List of ReferencesPeltz, J. (2014, April 17). Bloomberg plans $50M gun control network. The Charleston Gazette, p. A.10. Retrieved from ProQuest database – In text citation (if quoting or paraphrasing from this specific page) (Peltz, 2014, p. A.10)

  23. 2.3 http://library.syr.edu/help/summon

  24. Classic Catalog vs. SUMMON

  25. 2.3

  26. 2.3

  27. Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.3)– for List of ReferencesPedroni, T.C. (2007). Market movements: African American involvement in school voucher reform. New York: Routledge. – In text citation (if quoting or paraphrasing from specific page range) (Pedroni, 2007, pp. 100-101) 2.3 Note: Citation formatting is different if you are quoting from a separately authored chapter within an edited book. See the PAF 101 Module 2 APA Guide for further guidance

  28. 2.4 – Catalog of U.S. Government Publications http://catalog.gpo.gov

  29. 2.4 – Some citations for Congressional hearings may omit the hearing number – “S. Hrg.” Citing U.S. government publications can be challenging because no single standard exists Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.4)– for List of ReferencesRising violent crime in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina . U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2008).Hearing, June 20, 2007 (S.

  30. 2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Additional Ugly Truths • No absolute standard exists (although lawyers and law students often refer to the “Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation”; less helpful for those working and writing outside of that legal context) • The Debora Cheney reference book (below) is helpful, but its older publication date means it shall be weak in guidance for government publications located online Further references (In addition to PAF 101’s MOD 2 APA Guide - for anyone seeking more examples for how to cite U.S. Government Publications) – consider: • Cheney, D. (2002). The complete guide to citing government information resources. Bethesda, MD: LexisNexis, Congressional Information Service {J 9.5 G37 2002, Bird Library – 3rd Floor – Government Reference (does not circulate)} • Brief Guide to Citing Government Publications. University Libraries, University of Memphis http://www.memphis.edu/govpub/citweb.php (excellent!) • Citing Government Publications. Syracuse University Libraries Subject Guidehttp://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357

  32. 2.5– U.S. Census Data http://www.census.gov Within “QuickFacts,” the “Selection Map” for each state’s counties can help you locate a comparably sized area to your home town/city/county.
