Citation Help

CCOM APA Citing Cheat Sheet (use for all CCOM majors)
This guide is applicable for citing in all fields of communication studies. Demonstrates how to cite sources that Butler Libraries subscribes to such as Simmons, Business Source Complete, Mintel, Sport Market Analytics, etc.

Purdue's Online Writing Lab (OWL) is a trusted source for citation style instructions. As a librarian, this is the first page that I consult for citation help.

The American Psychological Association's APA Style website is a good place to refer to for citation guidance.
