ANTH 346 - Cultures of Latin America and the Caribbean

Welcome!

Hello!

This guide contains a compilation of resources to help you get started with final project for ANTH346. You will find tips on getting started using the OneSearch search engine and recommended titles. Remember, you can always call, email, chat, or drop by to meet with a librarian.

Sometimes it's helpful to meet with a librarian one-on-one to talk about your research. Feel free to contact a subject liaisons about meeting to discuss your project and find appropriate resources.

Citation Styles

There are a number of different citation styles that are used in academic writing and determining which to use can be confusing. Typically your professor will let you know the preferred citation style for their class and/or your discipline. For in-depth information about citing your sources, visit the Library's Citation Research Guide. Purdue OWL is also a great resource for MLA and APA citation styles.

Below you will find a table of four common citation styles, followed by a list of less-common citation styles:
