Check out this excellent site for researching and documenting resources:

Research and Documentation Online

Students in the Allied Health programs should definitely investigate the Sciences section.

If you're in the Business or Criminal Justice program, explore what's available in the Social Sciences section.

Once you've selected your section, click on the "Finding Sources" tab to find lists of suggested databases, many of which are available through LIRN, or web resources.  (The reference book section is not as relevant, as it was designed for a different library.)

In addition to being a great starting point for research, this site also contains an overview and formatting examples of the four major citation styles:  MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE.  And don't forget to review the "Tips" for evaluating resources--great for students using the Web to conduct research.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to stop by the librarian's desk!
