Create Your Bibliography!

Did you know that you can create a bibliography for your research paper using the ProQuest database? Yes, the same tool you use to find journal articles for your paper can be used to create your bibliography. It doesn’t matter if you need to create your bibliography using the MLA format, the APA format, or the Turabian format because the Create Your Bibliography feature in ProQuest will do all three.

Here is how you do it:

1. Access ProQuest at http://library.hiu.edu > Research Databases > ProQuest
2. Run a search for your topic.
3. Select the desired journal citations from your search results list by clicking the box to the left of the citation (this will place a checkmark in the box).
4. Click the My Research tab at the top of the ProQuest screen to show all of the documents that you just marked.
5. Click the Create Your Bibliography link.
6. Choose the format for your bibliography (MLA, APA, Turabian).
7. Click Email, Print, or Download.

ProQuest will automatically format the citations you chose and you can copy and paste those formatted citations into your bibliography. This feature is particularly helpful when trying to figure out how to cite journal articles you retrieved from the ProQuest research database. The Create Your Bibliography feature figures this out for you. Easy!

For additional information on the Create Your Bibliography feature in ProQuest, see Terri Bogan in the Library.

NetLibrary's October eBook of the Month

The NetLibrary electronic book (eBook) service we subscribe to makes a specific title available each month to all subscribers. So even though we may not have purchased that title, it will be freely available for the month in which it is the "book of the month." The October eBook is Capitalism as if the World Matters (revised edition) by Jonathon Porritt, with a new foreword by Amory B. Lovins. The book is published by Earthscan.* The NetLibrary advertisement describes the book as follows:

When first published in 2005, Capitalism as if the World Matters shocked both a generation of environmentalists and a generation of business people by brushing aside their petty squabbles and artificial battle lines with a powerful argument—that the only way to save the world from fuel shortages, climate change and environmental catastrophe is to embrace a new type of capitalism, and to do it quickly.

In this substantially revised and updated edition with a new foreword by Amory B. Lovins, Jonathon Porritt—Prime Minister Tony Blair’s chief environmental advisor—tackles the most pressing problems of our time and extends his powerful and controversial argument by suggesting new actions in a tightly argued and highly accessible book. New material includes in-depth coverage of the United States and the politics of climate change, the state of environmental debate and the massive upsurge in religious engagement with climate and the environment.
