Welcome to the Alverno Library's Wiki for Citing Sources!
This page provides information on upcoming library workshops and links to handouts, books, and websites that will help you understand how to cite sources using the APA (American Psychological Association) citation style.
NOTE: In August 2009 APA released the 6th edition of the publication manual. This wiki focuses on the rules for the 6th edition. Some 5th edition examples can be found on the Wiki sidebar.
