Acknowledging the Awkward Artifact

Sine Rofofsky - SUNY Schenectady
Jennifer Gbur - SUNY Schenectady

In this session participants will explore giving credit, both paraphrasing and direct quotations, in the content of projects, whether papers, presentations, or other submissions. Jennifer and Sine,  reference librarians at SUNY Schenectady, will explore with participants how to accurately acknowledge the lesser-known sources according to the three main style manuals (APA, MLA and Chicago). The session will explore when to cite, how to cite, and when something is considered common knowledge, using examples such as poetry, classical works, web-based videos, class lectures, and more.
