Here are some great resources for your course that can make your research and citations easier.
As your Virtual Librarian, I'll be sharing some information that can make your research and citation easier. I'm also here if you have any questions.
I'm also including some specific COM Library links that you can use to complete your assignments in this course. These guides are designed to both save you time and help you with researching, writing, and citing sources.

I just wanted to make sure you were aware of some resources that you might find useful for your Social Responsibility paper.
The Social Responsibility in American History guides have great sources for your assignment and links to even more specific guides on topics like:
There may be more movements included than what your assignment requires, so make sure to pick one that your instructor has specified. Also note that in some cases, books or eBooks may include only a chapter on your topic and that they may cover more than one era in American history.
To find more sources visit the A-Z Databases: American History page.
You’ll find links to all COM Library databases in A-Z Databases. Use the By Subject pull down menu to get the best history databases for your topic, or use this link: A-Z Databases: American History.
All our databases can be accessed on or off campus 24/7. If you're not sure how to use any of our databases, try our How To guides, or ask us!
Our top American history databases are American History Online, Issues & Controversies in History, JSTOR and ProQuest History.
Citation can be more time consuming than you think. Luckily you can just grab your citation from the databases where you find your articles. See screenshots and steps on the Grab a Citation page in the Cite APA Style guide.
If you are citing a website, zoterbib is free and very quick. Just type in your URL to get a citation in the style of your choice.
For more detailed information, you can consult The Concise APA Handbook and APA Style and Citations for Dummies 24/7. Just log in with your COM account if you are off campus.
