Deciphering Citations
Every scholarly article or academic book or even many encyclopedia articles have references or lists of additional readings. These can be goldmines to a researcher. Unfortunately, even deciphering those references or citations can be challenging because they do not all follow the same style or formatting protocols. Then, trying to actually locate these new sources is another hurdle.
Lucky for you, I have created a little powerpoint show walking you through this. To access it, click on the URL below. Be sure to choose to view it in full screen mode by clicking on the light gray icon 
in the corner of the show screen. Use the gray arrows 
to move through the slideshow.
