Citing in APA

You will be required to cite your sources according to the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th Edition Style Manual. However, not all of the requirements set by the manual will apply to your work, so check with your instructor about the preferred method of citation for the class.

Below is a handout prepared by the OLLU Library that will outline the basics of APA:

Citations Tools

Citation software is useful not only in creating citations, but also keeping track of your references. The Sueltenfuss Library offers three online citation tools for student use, although you will still need to know the basic citation structures when inputing entries. There is no charge for creating accounts to these tools.
