Options for sorting, refining and narrowing results appear at left margin (or right margin) in many databases

2.1 –

A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT requiredin your APA citationfor 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)

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.

Reminder: Do not use an ebook for this exercise.

2.3

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)

2.3Note: 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

2.4 – Catalog of U.S. Government Publicationshttp://catalog.gpo.gov

2.4 –

Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.4)– for List of ReferencesEnding the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office.– In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014)*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

Citing U.S. governmentpublications can bevery challenging because no single standard exists

2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Additional Citation Formatting Examples

Lawyers and law students often refer to the “Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation”; less helpful for those working outside that legal context

The Debora Cheney reference book (below) is helpful, but the older publication date means it will be weaker in guidance for government publications located online

In addition to PAF 101’s MOD 2 APA Guide (via Penn State U.) - for more examples of U.S. Government Publication citation formatting – 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 – 3 rd 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!...except beware their example for citing publications with Congress as author (such as a U.S. Senate or U.S. House hearing) strays from the norm.If citing such hearings, examples on the previous and subsequent slides are preferred!

Citing Government Publications. Syracuse University Libraries Subject Guidehttp://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357

2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications –Examples of variation when citing Congress vs. a non-Congressional agency

If a U.S. Senate (or U.S. House) hearing is what you cite, notice that the title of the hearing islisted first, where normally a personal or organizational author would be listed:

– for List of ReferencesEnding the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office.

– In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014)

*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

By contrast, the example you see at the PAF 101 APA guide via Penn State – for a situationwhere one is citing a report from a non-Congressional U.S. government agency - lists the name of the issuing agency as an organizational author:

– for List of ReferencesU.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. (2000). Breaking the cycle of domestic violence: Know thefacts. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, 2000)

*also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase

2.5– U.S. Census Datahttp://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 QuickFacts” for national data.

2.5– U.S. Census Datahttp://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.
