Citation help from Ms. Love

When doing research go to:

·      Library.vsb.bc.ca (note there is no www.)https://library.vsb.bc.ca/

·      Then choose our school

·      Next enter your Name and Password that you use for school

·      Ms. Love recommends using ‘Gale’ or ‘Global Issues’  sources you’ll see here.

·      Then search your key word

If you use information or quote from here, add it to your works cited word document.

·      Do so by clicking on ‘citation tools’ and it should fill in the information you need and it will provide you with a citation

·       Cut and paste it into your word document.

Sometimes when you put it into a word doc. It can come out formatted oddly see Ms. Love for  help. She is in the library every day at 7:45.

There are 3 websites that help you format/show you how to cite web pages/books/interviews/pictures etc. (see the handouts she provided to you)

Remember to:

·      Check that your info. is all in there; if it isn’t, add what you know.

·      When you copy your citation into your word doc you have to get rid of the grey while the clip board is there. You can’t do it later.  Choose Keep text only

·      Then go back in and add italics that may have vanished in this process. Italics are NOT OPTIONAL

·      Double space

·      Then fix your hanging indent and link 5 spaces – tab (BOTTOM LINE IS 5 SPACES/1 TAB INDENTED)

HOW TO: How to add and cite an image using Easybib video review 

Where you can find ‘open source’ free images:  Creative Commons

Typically, you won’t have to cite/source anything found here or when using your own photos.

 However, in order to show me that you know how, you must cite at least 1 image if you are using all open source.

Of course, you’ll need to CITE ALL IMAGES/IDEAS/QUOTES THAT ARE NOT YOUR OWN OR OPEN SOURCE.

Feel free to email with any questions not covered in this or previous blog posts.
