Today, we will look more closely at citation options that can help you build the references for your annotated bibliography. For our project, we will compile the five sources in a word processor document. You may also want to investigate some citation management tools, which you can find here.

There are lots of ways to build a bibliography, including composing the entries by hand. so be flexible and look for tools that help. As you work, you will encounter a few possibilities:

In many cases, you will be able to export a citation directly from the library page hosting the resource. Look for a "cite" link or other options for exporting references. You can just use these tools, choosing the correct format--APA--for our first report and copying the reference into your document.

In some cases, a piece through the library may not have citation tool available or may not export in the format you want. If so, you can use a tool like ZoteroBib. If you enter the DOI number, it should generate the entry. You can also enter a title, etc.

If it turns out that none of the above options work, you can use the library's citation builder, and input information to create a reference. 

Using materials from the library is great as they will be solid and the tools above should work readily to create references. If you are using sources from the web, social media, etc. you can often use ZoteroBib to create references automatically. For films, TV shows, etc you can use citation builder. 

Again, explore these tools, combining them as needed to build your bibliography. To check entries or if all else fails, you can use the style guides for the research formats.

After we have looked over these citation tools, we will review the bibliography assignment. We will also look at a sample, and go over the submission form.

Next, we will have a brief discussion about rhetorical situations and genres.

Finally, we will review the Community Discourse Analysis Report that is due on Monday, look at a coding summary, and then a sample paper, and go over the submission form.

For homework, submit your bibliography by 9:00AM on Saturday and submit your report draft by class time on Monday.
