APA guide revamped

Towards the end of 2021 our APA guide had a significant revamp, including:

  • ‘Accordions’ (expandable sections) on most pages to improve navigation
  • Many more templates for different types of references.

Note that you can link to a specific accordion if you right-click and copy the accordion heading. This can be useful for AskLIVE queries, for example https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/library/support/citations-and-referencing/apa-american-psychological-association-style/journal-articles/#collapse56525

Many thanks to Donna for her help setting up the accordions for the new page layouts.

Thanks from Jack Baggaley

Prof. Jack Baggaley needed an article from a 1957 issue of the Canadian Journal of Physics, which we hold in storage.

He wishes to thank the library staff who acted on his request so swiftly: “I had a pdf of the paper within 3 hours of sending the online request. That’s amazing: to get the journal out of the store, scan it and have it available for me online in 3 hours. How do they manage that? Great system. – thanks for your help.”

APA 7th edition has arrived!

The APA 7th library webpages have gone live as the default landing page for APA. There’s a link to the old APA 6th pages from that landing page.

I’ll be running at library staff session 2–3pm next Monday the 18th in the Den, looking at what’s easier (quite a bit) and what’s ‘interesting’ (a little) in the new edition of APA.

Ngā mihi
