Databases and Visuals Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that man doesn't have to experience it. ~Max Frisch (Swiss playwright, novelist, philosopher, social critic)
Contents Citing Databases General Info MLA APA Visuals Internal Citations MLA APA Visuals Bibliographic Citations MLA APA
DatabasesGeneral Info Examples of types Digital scans of entire periodicals (e.g., JSTOR journals, Writing Lab Newsletter, or CCC) Aggregating databases. Often draw from many types of sources (both web and print), most often arranged by subject (e.g. LexusNexus or EBSCO) Some are accurate facsimiles. Some databases don t have original s features like pagination, visuals, and original print format. Some have additional enhancements like links, sound recordings, or videos.

APA Reference PageDatabases In APA, it is NOT necessary to include database information. APA Manual rationale: Journal coverage in a particular database may change over time; also, if using an aggregator such Ebsco, OVID, or ProQuest (each of which contain many discipline-specific databases, such as PsycINFO), it may be unclear exactly which database provided the full text of the article (192). Include DOI if possible; otherwise URL
