Citation guides at Santa Fe
A Librarian at Santa Fe College has created an easy-to-use guide for creating APA style citations.
The APA guide shows you how to create citations for almost any resource you may use in your bibliography:
• Print Materials (books, maps, magazines, scripts, etc.)
• Electronic Materials (online articles, webpages, etc.)
• Media and other resources (YouTube, DVDs etc.)
