Question by Question Guidance – the database tools you’ll use on Module 2:
2.1 – Note the option to zoom into sets of data tables extracted from many of these full statistical report PDFs
Options for sorting, refining and narrowing results appear at left margin (or right margin) in many databases
2.1 – A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT required in your APA citation for this subscription database/ Listing a DOI – “Digital Object Identifier” also not required. Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.1) – for List of References Bureau of Transportation Statistics (Department of Transportation) (2014). Estimated National Emissions of Sulfur Dioxide [By Source, Selected Years, 1970-2013] (Page no. 302 Table no. 210). [Data file]. Retrieved from ProQuest Statistical Insight database
– In text citation (Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 2014)

Select desired date range. Article (for Ex. 2.2) must have been published in past 6 months!
Use “Source Type” menu for limiting results to magazines or newspapers.
A “Retrieved from…” database URL NOT required in your APA citation for this subscription database/ Listing a DOI – “Digital Object Identifier” also not required.

Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.3) – for List of References Pedroni, T.C. (2007). Market movements: African American involvement in school voucher reform. New York: Routledge. – In text citation (if quoting or paraphrasing from specific page range) (Pedroni, 2007, pp. 100-101)
Note: Citation formatting is different if you are quoting from a separately authored chapter within an edited book. See the PAF 101 Module 2 APA Guide for further guidance
2.4 – Catalog of U.S. Government Publications
http://catalog.gpo.gov
2.4 – Citing U.S. government publications can be very challenging because no single standard exists
Example of APA Style Citation (Module 2 – Exercise 2.4) – for List of References Ending the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014) *also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase
2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Additional Citation Formatting Examples Lawyers and law students often refer to the “Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation”; less helpful for those working outside that legal context The Debora Cheney reference book (below) is helpful, but the older publication date means it will be weaker in guidance for government publications located online In addition to PAF 101’s MOD 2 APA Guide (via Penn State U.) - for more examples of U.S. Government Publication citation formatting – consider: Cheney, D. (2002). The complete guide to citing government information resources. Bethesda, MD: LexisNexis, Congressional Information Service {J 9.5 G37 2002, Bird Library – 3rd Floor – Government Reference (does not circulate)} Brief Guide to Citing Government Publications. University Libraries, University of Memphis http://www.memphis.edu/govpub/citweb.php (excellent!...except beware their example for citing publications with Congress as author (such as a U.S. Senate or U.S. House hearing) strays from the norm. If citing such hearings, examples on the previous and subsequent slides are preferred! Citing Government Publications. Syracuse University Libraries Subject Guide http://researchguides.library.syr.edu/content.php?pid=43416&sid=320357
2.4 – Citing U.S. Government Publications – Examples of variation when citing Congress vs. a non-Congressional agency If a U.S. Senate (or U.S. House) hearing is what you cite, notice that the title of the hearing is listed first, where normally a personal or organizational author would be listed: – for List of References Ending the school-to-prison pipeline. U.S. Senate, Committee on the Judiciary. (2014). Hearing, December 12, 2012, Washington: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (Ending the school-to-prison pipeline, 2014) *also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase
By contrast, the example you see at the PAF 101 APA guide via Penn State – for a situation where one is citing a report from a non-Congressional U.S. government agency - lists the name of the issuing agency as an organizational author: – for List of References U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. (2000). Breaking the cycle of domestic violence: Know the facts. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office. – In text citation (U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, 2000) *also indicate pp. numbers if doing a direct quotation or paraphrase
2.5– U.S. Census Data
http://www.census.gov “QuickFacts” will help you locate data needed for this exercise. http://quickfacts.census.gov
When viewing ‘quick fact’ data for your home state (& home town, city or county) – visit the tab called “USA QuickFacts” for national data.
2.5– U.S. Census Data http://www.census.gov Within “QuickFacts,” the “Selection Map” for each state’s counties can help you locate a comparably sized area to your home town/city/county.
