Parenthetical Citations      posted 01-24-2016

Example of a parenthetical citation with multiple pages:
Double agents are still widely in use (Spies 12-15, 17).


Citing an entire source: When citing an entire work, there are no specific page numbers to refer to. Therefore it is preferable to refer to the source within the text itself with either the author or the title of the source.

Example: Hartford suggests the Internet provides more distractions than it does information.



Citing sources with more than one author: If you use sources with the same author surnames, then include a first name initial. If the two sources have authors with the same initials, then include their full names:

Example: (J. Johnson 12-13).

or

(John Johnson 12-13).


If there are two or three authors of the source, include their last names in the order they appear on the source:

Example: (Smith, Wollensky, and Johnson 45).

If there are more than three authors, you can cite all the authors with their last name, or you can cite the first author followed by “et al.” Follow what is shown the works cited list.

Example: (Smith et al. 45).

Dewey Decimal System      posted 02-05-2014
DEWEY DECIMAL SYSTEM NOTES:
The Dewey Decimal Classification system is a method of categorizing books in a library BY SUBJECT MATTER. It is a numerical system using groupings of ten - there are ten major classes, each of which has ten divisions, each of which has ten sections - and books are placed on the shelf in numerical order. In most libraries the Dewey number and the first three letters of the author's last name become the book's CALL NUMBER. The Dewey Decimal system was created by Melvil Dewey in 1876.

The majority of books using the Dewey Decimal System in a library's collection are non-fiction, but just because a book has a call number doesn't mean it's non-fiction. The Dewey Decimal System has a number for ALL books!

Some examples of fiction books in the Dewey Decimal System are:
Folk and Fairy Tales 398 and 398.2
Riddles 398.6
Poetry 811
Plays 812

American Fiction books could actually be classified under 813. Most libraries put their fiction in a separate alphabetical section by the first few letters of each author's last name, though, because it would otherwise take up too much space in the 813s!
