ENVS 2401: Introduction to Environmental Science

This guide has been created to help students in EVNS24011 learn to effectively evaluate sources, locate different types of sources (scholarly/peer reviewed), and efficiently use the library's resources.

Sample Bibliography from Paper

Here is a snapshot of a bibliography section of a paper. You may also see it titled "References" or "Works Cited," depending on which citation style the author used. The references included in the scholarly sources that you find can help you find additional resources, so always spend some time looking through that bibliography! 

Take notes! Notice these parts of each source to see if you find a clue:

  • journals where these sources are found
  • author's names
  • terminology that might be used as additional search terms

Always compare bibliographies.  If you see sources listed in as a resource for multiple sources - that might be a clue that the article is an important one in the field!

Remember: if you need help finding any of the papers in the reference section of another paper - ASK A LIBRARIAN!

We'll be happy to assist you!
