Reference at Finals Time

Class will be over in about a week and the library is jammed with students finishing papers and groups working on projects. The kind of things you will handle:

  • Patron prints to Legal, but we don't have legal size paper.
  • How do I print a PDF?
  • How do I figure out where this book was published?
  • How do I cite this webpage in Chicago style?
  • Do I cite all the sources I used or just the ones what I quoted directly?
  • Phone calls ( I lost my hat, usb drive, etc....)
