E. Journal/Magazine Title: be sure to check the "Library
Has" link to see which dates the Library owns. (Note: not all electronic
journals we
have are cataloged in WebLUIS. There is also a link to a list of all electronic
journals available at FAU.)
Note the location box, which can be used to limit your search to sections
of the library such as the Reference, Curriculum, Children’s Literature
or Government Documents Collections, or to a particular campus library.
II. Searching for articles in databases
To search for articles click on "Indexes/Databases" or "Articles." There
are both alphabetical and subject listings of databases. The Library
provides access to the two major anthropology databases: Anthropology
Plus and Human Relations Area Files: eHRAF Collection of Ethnography,
as well as a number of others which contain anthropological material such as
JSTOR and Social Sciences Full Text.
Note: when using these databases from off-campus you must log in through
the EZ-Proxy link. You will need to enter the number from your Owl Card
in order to do this. The SFX system allows you to link to external sources such as other databases holding the full text of the article,
the Library's catalog, the list of FAU's electronic journals, ILLIAD requesting, etc.

IV. Citing your References
APA style is the way to format research papers based on the Publication
manual of the American Psychological Association (Washington, DC: American
Psychological Association, 2001). This book is available in the Ready Reference
area and on 3 hour reserve (BF 76.7 P83 2001). Many quick reference guides to APA & other
styles are available on the Internet. An example from Purdue University
is:
