IIIEE Library and information resources guide

The IIIEE has decided to use APA (American Psychological Association) style, as the style is widely used, the date is clearly visible (as given as the second element), and it has a well developed way of citing electronic resources.

Further reading:

• American Psychological Association (2009) Publication manual of the  American psychological association Washington DC, American Psychological Association
• At the Library in Lund we offer hard copies of the consise rules of the 6th edition of the Publication manual, please check the catalogue for current availability.

Useful resources online:

• The official APA website for example.
• The University of Purdue has created an excellent online learning module called the OWL. Among other things, it also contains lots of information on how to use APA style and gives examples on how to write: OWL exercises.
• APA guide from Cornell University Library

Here you will find a number of documents from the IIIEE explaining how to cite and reference, with examples!
