Melissa Sissen – Welcome

Hero Background 5
Welcome to the Siena Heights University Library Bibliographic Instruction page. This page is a living/ changing site which will continually be added to with new and improved documents and videos to aid you, the student, in doing research. If there are areas or materials you would like to see included on this reference site please send me an email at msissen@sienaheights.edu with your suggestions and I will be happy to work on it ! Thank you and happy researching. Melissa
 Here you will find information  needed for research as well as help in  writing papers. How to get started, how to use the databases and how to properly cite sources in APA, MLA, Chicago , CSE and ACS styles.
So, we can all identify with Calvin, waiting until the last minute to start writing the paper, is not the best way to  write a good paper. So lets get started!  No matter what academic field you are in you will eventually be required to research and write a paper. Most times you will be allowed to select your own topic; sometimes, however, you will be assigned a certain topic to explore.  So when you are unfamiliar with the subject area where and what do you do?  Watch this short video to realize you are not alone!
