Brightpoint Libraries Research Guides
 

Some of our most popular guides:

• Literature Guide

Need formatting help? Try these resources and find the specific citation style needed:​

The Libraries’ databases and resources offer citation tools. Many resources offer multiple styles of citation. 

WARNING: Computer-generated citations are not always correct. Library staff recommend proofreading citations with the information from the style guide assigned by the instructor.
 

Ask us! Library staff have experience with citations. We are happy to assist with citations, research and more!

The libraries offer students, faculty, and staff with off-campus access to all online resources using a valid myBrightpoint username and password. Students and staff can find a listing of all library resources on the libraries’ A to Z list of Databases.
