learned that information almost always
turns out to be at best incomplete and
very often false, misleading, fictitious---just
dead wrong.”

Four (4) Crucial Starting Points
Summon –
Databases List –
Search engine for most of SU Libraries’ collections
and other resources beyond SU Libraries.
Includes articles, books, journals, maps, sound
recordings, archival materials, government
documents and more
A list of databases available through Syracuse
University Libraries. Includes databases
containing articles, images, data, and videos.
Search for a database by title, subject area or
content type
Journals/Journal Locator –
Subject Guides –
A list of print and electronic journals, magazines,
and newspapers available through Syracuse
University Libraries. Search or browse by title,
ISSN, or subject category
Librarian created online portals to specific
recommended databases and other sources,
arranged by a set of major subject disciplines
Question by Question Guidance – the database tools
you’ll use on Module 2:
2.1 –
Note the option
to zoom into
sets of data
tables extracted
from many of
these full
statistical
report PDFs
Options for
sorting, refining
and narrowing
results appear at
left margin (or
right margin) in
many databases
2.1 –
Options available
to view or print
tables in Excel
spreadsheet form.
Via “Table”
buttons one can
also open PDFs
for full source
documents
(government
reports) that
contain these
tables, presented
in context within
each report.
2.2 –
ProQuest
…also used for Exercise 4.5
Select desired
date range.
Article (for Ex.
2.2) must have
been published
in past 6 months!
Use “Source
Type” menu for
limiting results to
magazines or
newspapers.
Example of search result (Exercise 2.2) – but make sure actual publication date of
article you use for module 2 is no more than 6 months old!
2.3 –
“SUMMON”
search engine
library.syr.edu
Use “advanced
search” for
greater control
over search results
Book (for Ex. 2.3) must have been published in past 15
years!
2.3
Reminder:
Do not use
an ebook for
this exercise.
2.3
2.3
See the PAF 101 Module 2 APA Guide for further guidance on proper book citation
Note: Citation formatting for a book authored in entirety by one or more authors
(who wrote entire book) is handled differently than citing a single book chapter
within an edited book with each chapter separately authored by different people.
2.4 – Catalog of U.S.
Government Publications
http://catalog.gpo.gov
2.4 –
Citing U.S.
government
publications can be
very challenging
because no single
standard exists –
and this leads to
some variations in
formatting
examples appearing
in different “how to
cite” guides
2.5– U.S. Census
Data
http://www.census.gov
“QuickFacts” will help
you locate data needed
for this exercise.
http://www.census.gov/quickfacts
When viewing ‘quick
fact’ data for your home
state (& home town, city
or county) – after
arriving at that data
table, typing “united
states” into the query
window provides a
column of national data
for the entire U.S.
2.5– U.S. Census Data
http://www.census.gov/quickfacts
Within “QuickFacts,” data columns are created
using the query window labeled “Enter state,
county, city, town, or zip code.” To create a “United
States” column, enter “United States.”
2.5– U.S. Census Data
http://www.census.gov/quickfacts
Within “QuickFacts,” the magnifying glass located
next to a state or county name can take you to a list
of additional datasets - helpful for identifying
comparably sized counties or cities (cities & towns
are called “places” by the Census Bureau).
2.5– U.S. Census Data
http://www.census.gov
Within “QuickFacts,” after clicking on that
magnifying glass – additional data quicklinks
appear.
When determining a comparably sized county or
city (cities & towns are called “places” by the
Census Bureau), in other words, within 25% size of
your home county or city/town, as required for
module 2, links under “Population Estimates” will
pull up alphabetical lists – such as
•
Estimates for all counties [for New Mexico] OR
•
Places [cities] in New Mexico listed
alphabetically
2.5– U.S. Census Data
http://www.census.gov/quickfacts
•
Example of A-Z list of counties in New Mexico,
including recent population data
•
Select one that is within 25% size of your home
county
•
Return to the front end of the quickfacts home
page http://www.census.gov/quickfacts and
enter that county name – to review data that
meets requirements for this module 2 exercise
•
This technique can ALSO be used to pull up a
list of names of places [cities/towns] in your
home state.

*Be wary, again, formatting suggestions for citing government publications tend to vary. Best advice is
to pick a format presented by one guide, matching “type(s)” of government documents you are citing,
and stick with that as much as possible.
