Geography

• Find specific documents - "known items" video - how to find a book or article, when all you have is a reference to it
• Set up Google Scholar: gif - so that the FindIt@UCalgary links to full-text are available
• Geography databases - search these by TOPIC to find articles and other geography research
• Research vs. review articles - how to distinguish the two
• APA resources

UCalgary Library also has a "Building Blocks for Library Research" playlist - videos on how to search, in general (Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT; Keywords and concept charts for building a database search; Peer review process)

Contact the interim Geography Librarian - I am happy to meet over Zoom to show you any of the things on this page, or to answer any questions over email

When you are researching, you will come across references to other articles or books that you want to read. This video shows you how to do that for references to articles that have an article title, for those that don't, and for books.

Set up Google Scholar so that the FindIt@UCalgary links are available. The links will connect back to the library, then to full-text, if the University has a subscription.

Click the "hamburger menu" --> click "Settings" --> click "Library Links" --> search "Calgary" --> check the University of Calgary options.

There is no audio for the gif below.

The referencing style used in GEOG 456 is APA 7. The recommended resources below link to examples and how-tos.

The APA Citation Tools & Resources research guide below links to yet more APA resources, including other examples.

The OWL at Purdue is excellent for formatting other aspects of a paper (e.g. font, spacing, page numbering, etc.) in APA style.
