Citing Your Sources
Citing sources correctly is one of the most important aspects of academic writing. Failing to credit an article or book that's contributed to your research is plagiarism.

Citation may seem like a daunting task, but using a guide can make it much easier. Whether you need help with APA style, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, or additional styles, the library has tons of guides to put you on the right track!
Staff Pick of the Month
by Lauren Rankin
(HQ767.5.U5 R36 2022)

Bodies on the Line chronicles the history of abortion clinic escorts in the United States. Clinic escorts are volunteers who work to protect abortion access by helping patients enter the medical facility, shielding them from terrorism and violence from protestors. They help patients access the healthcare they need despite harassment, threats of violence, and legal barriers.

Rankin shares the stories of these volunteers, including her own, as well as interviews with clinic staff and patients, from the 1970s to the present day. She also documents the anti-abortion movement in the US, from extremist violence including bombings and burnings of clinics and assassinations of abortion providers, to the legal barriers enacted by conservative politicians.

Bodies on the Line is a compassionate history of the abortion-rights movement told from the perspective of those who fought on the ground to protect it.
