Databases will make citations!

Most of the library's databases have citation generator software. That means they'll write a citation for you. They don't usually get it 100% correct, but it's certainly better than starting from scratch! Make sure to check your citations with the tutors at the Writing Center. A librarian can show you how to have the databases make your citations.

March is National Women's History Month

Gale databases read to you!

The Gale company's databases will read book chapters and articles to you! Just click the MP3 option when you search a database such as Gale Virtual Reference Library, Literature Resource Center or Opposing Viewpoints. You can download the files to an MP3 player, play it in the car, or have your laptop read to you while you do other things at home!
