NBR: Any grad students out there?

I was just curious to see if anyone had any good online resources for APA style papers. ?I (of course) didn't buy the book on APA style b/c I was trying to save money, but now I'm writing a research paper and I don't want to get points taking off for improper formatting. ?I googled, but there isn't much that is up to date.

Any info or links would be helpful

Thanks! ?

    I have a copy of the APA book here - do you have a specific question?  You could always try the library or go to Barnes and Noble and use theirs.

    The APA book really is your best bet. Take your lap top to your local bookstore or library and look at the APA book. That way you dont have to buy it. Your school should also have a copy in their library.

    The Purdue website is good. ?Thanks. I might just suck it up and go buy the book tonight. ?I`m probably gonna need it in the future anyway.

    CMDR513- I`m going to Drexel for my teaching cert/masters. ?I almost went to Cabrini though! I love that area of the suburbs. ?I wish I could afford to live out on the Main Line.?

    hey! i have the book, but that website that one of the poster's mentioned is highly liked by instructors. if you have any questions let me me know. the class i am taking now the professor is a stickler. i am glad there are other pg gals out there in grad school too. i just think i am nuts is all.

    Here is my direct question. ?How do I source an author within a book that is a collection of essays?????

    I need to know for in-text citation.?

    Since you have the author of the article/chapter on your work cited paged, your in-text citation would be the same as you would if they're the author.

    Cool thanks. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't misinterpreting what the Owl site said.
