Advice on Annotating Bibliography Entries.

Fonts for Presentations

You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer to access some of these files. 

Reference:
Library Research Guide, designed especially for LBST 304 Final Projects
Citing Web Pages, a model suggested by the CSUF librarians. If you cite web pages in your final essays, you must do so according to this model.  The URL that you cite should be a functional URL until after your final essay is graded.  If you have any doubts about the stability of a web site, you should use your browser's "Print" function to create a paper copy for your files.  If the URL is not functional (often the case when you are using a commerical information database), print the article and paperclip it to the back of your essay.
Online Citation Guide, a source for APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian citation styles.

Sources for Science News:
Science News, a publication of Science Service, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the public understanding of science.
Science, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Good source for small items announcing breaking news; feature articles presume a great deal of background knowledge).
Scientific American, a monthly commercial publication.
The New York Times. The print version has a science section on Tuesdays; they also have an excellent web site.
The Los Angeles Times has a weaker commitment to science news than The New York Times; I recommend it only for K.C. Cole's essays (which typically appear on Thursdays) and for coverage of local issues (energy, water, seismology, etc.)
The BBC, the British Broadcasting Corporation, has an excellent web site with well-designed features about science.
