APA Style Guide

A guide to help with the APA Citation Style.

Citations on One Search

Citations are auto generated for your convenience on the library's catalog. When you have found a source you wish to cite, simply click on the "Citation" button. Make sure to choose the correct format (in this case APA), then copy and paste your citation. 

Please remember to always check the citation before using, to make sure there are no mistakes.

Citations in the Databases

Citations are also autogenerated in the databases. Each database is slightly different in where the citation button is located, however it will be very similar to choosing a citation in the library catalog.
