A Message from
the Head Librarian

Welcome to your eleventh week at the library. This week is a week set aside for working on your final draft.

The tidbit this week is one of the quirks in APA format for reference entries.  Just when you think you've seen it all, you find a journal article that has eight authors.  Actually, there are two quirks here.  The first is this: in the reference entry you use et al. after the sixth author's name to represent the rest.  The second quirk is the citation in text: you use the first author's name followed by et al. every time the work is cited, including the first time.  See pages 240-241 for the details.

Our goals this week are to:

• Work on final draft of research proposal.
• Show what you know of APA - you can choose to complete the APA Extra Credit Quiz for a few extra credit points!
