Brief ASA Style Guides/Handouts:

The Official Style Guide from ASA (Ask at the Circulation Desk in the Library)

• As you're writing a paper, you will mention the work of various other authors you've used.  When you do this, write an in-text citation.  The author's name and the year are sufficient, like this (Karnehm Willis 2011).
• The end of your paper should contain references (a list of citations) for everything you've used in your paper.  This includes books, articles, websites, and even personal interviews.
