This document provides guidance on APA citation style for students in BS 311. It begins with an agenda outlining why citations are used, basic citation elements, and examples of how to cite different sources. Specifically, it explains that citations show sources, avoid plagiarism, and direct readers to further information. The basics section distinguishes between citations within text and full references. It then provides examples of in-text citations and reference list citations for sources like articles, movies, and company profiles from a database. The document concludes by thanking readers and providing library contact information for additional help.
