Reference Questions, 4/5/2011

It's Tuesday night on the reference desk and I am starting to feel a little better. I'm so glad. This illness has had me down for nearly a week.

1. (Chat) Question about citing (in APA) a work in an anthology where the anthology and each section of the anthology has different editors
2. Printer in Classroom B was jammed
3. Question about APA in-text citations; he wanted to know where the quotes go
4. Question about creating a journal article reference in APA
5. Wanted to borrow a highlighter
6. Question about creating a journal article reference in APA without a DOI
7. Wanted to know where they could rent laptops
8. Wanted to know how to get to our databases
9. Wanted to know where his print out would go
10. Student is on the Student Advisory Council for the library and was looking for the Privy papers that she is supposed to hang in Young Hall; I told her that I was not aware of any that had been left for her here at the ref desk but that she should check with the front desk because I believe that they sometimes have stacks of them there
11. Wanted to know if something was a magazine or a journal, so he would know how to cite it in APA
12. Looking for headphones
13. Wanted to know what time the reference desk closes
14. Student was looking for a CD, but couldn't find it upstairs; after looking it up in the catalog I discovered that it is at the TRC

This was the night of the APA question. Well, it's not surprising. The semester is winding down and students are working on final projects. Final projects that must be cited in APA format.
