  11. Library Services Your SU ID Card = Your Library Card (undergraduate student borrowing period for books is 28 days) – see ‘your accounts’ link @ library website for information about books you have checked out, to renew books, etc.

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

  13. 2.1 –

  14. 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 Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (Department of Justice) (2012). Annual firearms manufacturing and export report, 2010. [Data file]. Retrieved from Proquest Statistical Insight database. – In text citation (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, 2012)

  15. 2.2 – Proquest Central …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 and newspapers.

  16. 2.2 – 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 ReferencesKessler, A. (2012). Our 19th-century curriculum. The Weekly Standard, 18(4), 22-23. Retrieved from Proquest Central database – In text citation (if quoting or paraphrasing from specific page) (Kessler, 2012, p. 22)

  17. Available at http://library.syr.edu Book (for Ex. 2.3) must have been published in past 15 years! 2.3 – SU Library “Classic Catalog”

  18. 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

  19. 2.4 – Catalog of U.S. Government Publications http://catalog.gpo.gov

  20. 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. Hrg 110-217), Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (Rising violent crime, 2008)*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

  21. 2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Additional Ugly Truths • No absolute standard exists (but within some small variation, the majority of expectations are similar) • Thus, wildly random approaches to citation formatting are NOT acceptable, even with Gov Pubs. • Many different government document types exist, and each has different citation formatting expectations (e.g., Senate Hearings, House Hearings, Congressional Committee Reports, Reports of Federal Government Agencies, etc) • The Debora Cheney reference book is helpful, but its publication date means it shall be weaker in guidance for government publications located online • Additional 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 • Citing Government Publications. Syracuse University Library Subject Guidehttp://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357

  22. 2.5– U.S. Census Data http://www.census.gov “QuickFacts” will help you locate data needed for this exercise.http://quickfacts.census.gov When viewing ‘quick fact’ data for your home state (& home town, city or county) – visit the tab called “USA quick facts” for national data.

  23. 2.5– U.S. Census Data http://www.census.gov The “Population Finder” pull down menu can help you locate a comparably sized area to your home town/city/county. Any thoughts on public policy implications of this ‘stat of the day?’
