The assignment calculator is at U of Minnesota Libraries.

An overview of the sources covered in the Library Orientations on January 31, 2007 and February 6, 2007 is available here.

Please remember that we offer FREE Interlibrary Loan services. You can get a copy of the Book request form and also a copy of the Article request form. The completed forms can be dropped off at the Reference Desk or emailed to the Interlibrary Loan Department at library_ill@middlesexcc.edu

Here is an example for citing information from Biography Reference Bank , specifically an entry from Current Biography on Waslaw Nijinsky. PLEASE REMEMBER that citations should be double-spaced and the second or any subsequent lines are indented.

"Nijinsky, Waslaw." Current Biography. N.p.: H.W.Wilson, 1940. Biography Reference Bank.WilsonWeb. Middlesex County College Library, Edison. 8 Feb. 2007 .

"Quotes" are used around the last name of the person, first name of the person, because that is the title of the entry. N.p. is used because no place of publication is given. The date after "Edison" is the date you got the information.

When using Lexis-Nexis, this is the way a citation would look:

Kriegsman, Alan M. " The Radiant Reign of Margot Fonteyn: On the Ballet Stage, Hers Was a Grace and Style Beyond Compare." The Washington Post 22 Feb. 1991, final ed.: B1. Academic Universe. Lexis-Nexis. Middlesex County College Library, Edison. 8 Feb. 2007.


Kriegsman is the author, the title of the article is in quotes, the name of the newspaper is underlined, after the edition (if there is one) is the page number(s).

Remember that if you use an article from the Historical New York Times you would follow the format shown for Lexis-Nexis but you would NOT need the information after the page number (B1 in the example.)
