Citing & Writing Resources

PIcture of a student studying on the 3rd floor of Laupus Library

Need help figuring out how to cite a book chapter or an odd online resource? I'm here to help! Feel free to use one of the style guides below or email/call me/come by my office and I'll be glad to look up that tough citation with you. I can also assist you with in-text citations, your bib page, and direct you to the best resources to help you to tighten up your writing style!

In addition to your Search Strategy Lab Notebook, I also highly recommend using NEW Refworks  -OR- Zotero to manage the citations for your class assignments. If you need help learning how to use Refworks or Zotero, please contact me at forbesc@ecu.edu.
