Retrieving and Referencing Sources

APA Referencing and Retrieving Worksheet Use this space to take notes about the different search engines available to you. In scientific research, for this class’ AP Portfolio pieces, and through your career at Wheeler, you will need to know how to retrieve reputable sources and how to reference them properly. We will use APA Referencing; some classes may use MLA.

In this activity, you will learn how to access the academic search databases through Wheeler Library, both on site and at home, as well as how to judge the reputability of a source and how to reference it in APA format.

Fill in this worksheet through the activity and place it in your Abstraction Notebook for future reference. If you need extra space, use extra paper.
