2 2 Library 1.0 Libraries of the past may be described as environments with resources kept on shelves or in closed storage. While books and other bibliographic items are portable, they required a physical visit to the shelves or storage place. Library systems and procedures dictated one directional systems and procedures. Interaction with library staff included guidance of the reference librarians and checking out of materials by the circulation staff. In the Library 1.0 world library service took people to the information.

3 3 Library 2.0 Library 2.0 (or L2) aims to take information to the library users. L2 does replace the library as a storage place for books, but builds on that technology. Information locked in web sites, data bases, and in print is put to work for the library patron. In L2 the search system will not only look and gather the information you seek, but will learn and deliver more of what you need. Ideas and Concepts of L2 Information goes two ways. User feed back is encouraged. Library reaches for new users and new services for current users

38 Creating Citations Stuhlman’s Rules for citations Citations must be reversable. That means – if you create a citation someone else must be able to find your source. Style sheets that use only the first letter of the author’s name do not follow this rule because the authors may be easily confused with another author of that last name. 38

39 Style Sheets Style sheets are addressed primarily to scholars, potential scholars, and other writers of scholarly books, articles, and electronic resources. By standardizing the format of the documents and citations, authors and readers are better able to communicate. Since many publishers require submitted manuscripts to be a particular style, teachers require their students to follows the guidelines of a style sheet. 39

40 Plagiarism Plagiarism is the copying of another person's work and claiming it as your own. Plagiarism is not against the law. It is an ethical, academic, or professional indiscretion. If you correctly cite another person’s work, you can use a quote. You have indemnify concerning plagiarism. 40

41 Copyright Copyright law allows a limited monopoly for exclusive rights to sell, publish, perform, translate, derive, record, etc. works that are fixed in a tangible form. To use materials not in the public domain and not covered under fair use, you need permission from the copyright owner. 41

42 Citation Basics Citations are used to document the research. Quotes and references give background and authority to the scholarly paper. When writers use resources or want to give the readers guidance for further information, a full bibliographic citation must be given to enable the reader to find the exact resource the writer used. 42

43 Citation Basics 2 Enter the item under the entity with primary responsibility. This can be a personal or corporate author. Choose the first author as the primary entry point. Use the format: Name Lastname, Firstname (middle initial or name if given on item.) Do not use titles such as Dr., Mr., Ms., Professor, or Rev. If the item has a corporate author, use that name in direct order. 43

44 Citation Basics 3 Title Copy the title exactly as found on the item except for punctuation. If needed add or delete commas to make the title more understandable. Add a colon (:) between the title and subtitle. Place Use city of publication followed by state or country. Use abbreviation form listed in the item not the postal codes. New York City does not require a state. 44

45 Full Citations The guidelines that follow are for the full citations listed in bibliographies and lists of references. Citations within the text will be shorter because the reader can read the full citation later. 45

46 Citation Basics 4 Publisher Use the shortest form that will be understood by the reader. That means leave off the words “Publisher” or “Press” unless published by a university press or the terms are needed to identify the company. Date Use the date on the title page or the copyright date. If unknown, make your best guess. Supplementary information. Add edition statement, notes, or any other information needed for identification. 46

47 Citation Basics 5 Sample for a book: LastN, FirstN. This is a book title. New York, Schocken, 1977. [If needed, add page references. If not print, add medium.] Titles of full works should be in italicized. [Previous versions of the rules had writers underline titles.] Sample for article: LastN, FirstN. “Title from journal article.” Journal of American Bibliography 23:4 Summer 2008; 23-55. Note: I capitalized according to the AACR2 rules. Most scholars capitalize according to the way used in the item. Be very careful to use only abbreviations that you are sure the readers will understand. 47

48 Citation Basics 6 For every entry, determine the medium of publication such as print, web page, CD-ROM, DVD, audio files, etc. Writers are not required to provide URLs for Web entries, but your instructor or publisher may require them. I think it is a good idea to provide URLs since library catalogs for electronic resources will include them. Include URLs in angle brackets after the entry and end with a period. If citing an article or a publication that was originally issued in print form, the rule states that articles retrieved from an online database, should include name of the database name in italics, however, since articles may be found in multiple databases this may be unnecessary. Note: This slide is an update from the 16 th ed. These rules did not appear in earlier editions. 48
