2. Visit the HKHS Library and find the country books
downstairs on the shelf opposite the computer cart.
You will find books on a variety of Spanish speaking
countries.
Go to the HK Library website. You’ll find links to
the a variety of school databases and internet
resources.
Remember, if you use a database, you will have a
collection of journal articles, magazine articles, book
excerpts, news articles and more to sort through to
gather useful information for your research.
3. Citations
•When you find information that you use in your project, you must cite the
source. Use APA format when citing resources for this project.
•Citation information can be found on the HK Library website.
•Remember, you must cite both information AND pictures you use in your
project.
4. Using & Citing Pictures
First, be sure you search for pictures that are free to use
and/or share in your presentation.
Creative Commons is one source that will allow you to
search for free-use images. You can also do an
“Advanced Search” in Google Images. More on that
soon!
You can also get help using Citation Machine for
images! You plug in the information you know and the
citation will be generated for you.

6. Citing from a Database
In many instances, citation information is
available to you directly from the database.
Be sure to select the correct citation style
(APA in this case).
If you cannot copy and paste citation
information from the database, you can use a
tool such as “Citation Machine”
(http://www.citationmachine.net/) or
“EasyBib” to help generate a citation in the
proper format.
7. In-Text Citations
• In-text citations help readers locate the cited source in the
References section of the paper.
• Whenever you use a source, provide in parenthesis:
the author’s name and the date of publication
for quotations and close paraphrases, provide the author’s
name, date of publication, and a page number
